NextCom or eRacks?

Hello, all.

I'm trying to choose between two laptops for FreeBSD:

eRacks/Centrino:
http://eracks.com/products/Laptops/config?sku=CENTRINO
1.5GHz, $1,699 base price

vs:

NextCom NextBook:
http://www.nextcomputing.com/nextbook.htm
3GHz, $2,050 base price.

Does anyone have any experience with these machines or these companies? 
NextCom also offers a 64bit laptop. But I'm not clear on what the state 
of FreeBSD and 64bit computing is, at least with regard to ports and 
packages.

Thanks ...
