My Chemusa Chembook 6800XL (see www.chemusa.com) has all of these features: P200MMX TFT1024x768 14.1" display 32MB RAM or more 3GB Hard drive Internal CD-ROM and Floppy ESS1868 sound system C&T 65554 graphics with 4MB Video RAM 2-button touchpad mouse XFree86 works in 1024x768 at both 16bpp and 24bpp and the sound system works with FreeBSD sound drivers (not Luigi's sound (pcm) driver though). I liked Chemusa because they have the chipset information for all their products online. This will let you easily avoid the dreaded NeoMagic video chip which isn't supported by XFree86.
