You will not get the real best laptop if you ask like this. Be prepared 
for some kind of compromise.

I have an Fujitsu P2120. FreeBSD 5.2 works but has problems with the 
power settings. With other words, NT has a longer operating time than 
FreeBSD on it.

All other features of the machines did not make any problems.
