anyone have a favorite laptop?

[Steve Franks]

The freebsd laptop page is a nice resource, but it's a bit heavy on
specifics (i.e. I have a laptop I want to install on), not so good
generally (want to buy a laptop).  So anyone have realworld advice?
I'm not against something used in the 1GHz+ range.

<I have a compaq that is %#&*!^$.  The pcmcia will not work, the
ndiswrapper for the broadcom panics, etc.  So, compaq is right out
(the've always maintained their poor reputation, no?) - so compaq is
out.  Seems gateway has an equally bad rap>

Thanks,
Steve
