All,

What's currently recommended as a FreeBSD laptop platform?

I'm using an IBM/Lenovo T42 at the moment, but that's shortly going back, so:

Things I like:

* Suspend to RAM works * Nice enough keyboard * Workable screen resolution (1024x768, big enough for four xterms) * Reasonably light * Has a dock -- makes things much easier * 1.7GHz CPU is fast enough for my needs (web, e-mail, software development) * Trackpad

Things I don't like:

* Battery life isn't great * Suspend to disk doesn't work * No WiFi

Can anyone recommend a laptop with all those features that works with FreeBSD?
