As for me, I have never had problems with running FreeBSD on Sony VAIO laptops. I use Sony PCG-TR3/B and all except motion eye (didn't tested) is working here. I had experience trying to get working FreeBSD at Amilo Pa2510, but had troubles with Radeon x1200 video-card. So you should look at laptops with intel videocards or ndidia.
