Experiences with Lenovo Thinkpad X230?

Hello,

I'm considering buying a Lenovo Thinkpad X230 and I'm trying to figure 
out if FreeBSD will run well enough on it for my use.

I expect to run 9.1-RELEASE/amd64 on it.

It looks like I'll have to use WITH_NEW_XORG and WITH_KMS as it has 
HD3000 graphics.

The specs say that the wireless interface is "Intel® Centrino® 
Advanced-N + WiMAX 6250 (Kilmer Peak) 2x2 AGN". It looks like it should 
be supported by the iwn(4) driver. Can anyone confirm this?

Are there any other details I should be worried about?
