This is simply wrong. Most laptops ship either with Ati or Intel
chipset. Both tend to be well supported. With a bit care, you will get
wpi as wireless chipset (e.g. avoid draft n). I found ACPI compliance to
have improved a lot over the recent time and in fact the number of ACPI
bugs that can't be worked around in general ways has become very low.
