Figured I'd follow up here: I decided against these particular systems. They both have an unfortunate choice of graphics cards, and I've been told that modern optimus cards can not have this feature disabled. Shopping for laptops for a FreeBSD system is very painful. I wish we could be past this point of worrying about "is this hardware supported." That said, I'll likely send a more general email to this list with some "requirements" and a request for suggestions some time soon. -- Eitan Adler
