As for me, I have never had problems with running FreeBSD on Sony VAIO lapt=
ops. I use Sony PCG-TR3/B and all except motion eye (didn't tested) is work=
ing here. I had experience trying to get working FreeBSD at Amilo Pa2510, b=
ut had troubles with Radeon x1200 video-card. So you should look at laptops=
 with intel videocards or ndidia.
