Some, maybe, but not all of them.  I've used at least three different 
models with FreeBSD.  Toshiba notebooks are worse, IME.
http://laptop.bsdgroup.de/freebsd/index.html is very useful.

Likewise with HP printers; some models--usually the "home" 
models--really aren't good.  But their business-class stuff is 
excellent.  Generally, avoid the models that don't speak PCL or 
PostScript.
