I use an Lenovo X220 with 10.1 since nearly three years. Be careful with cheaper Lenovos as they have very often hardware which is not supported by FreeBSD. A higher end ThinkPad should do. As Intel's new CPU generation is coming out soon, there might be some cheaper options on the older models coming too. Erich
