My personal favorite is an IBM Thinkpad Laptop.  I have a Thinkpad T43
and T23 and both models run FreeBSD 6.0.  Have a look at my
Thinkpad+FreeBSD page:

ACPI events, Suspend2Ram, acpi_ibm, SpeedStep work fine.

The SATA controller (Intel ICH6) of the T43 works flawlessly.

* Athereos Wireless (a/b/g) with ath(4)
* Broadcom Ethernet with bge(4)
* sound-chip with snd_ich(4)
* ATI Radeoon with Xorg 6.8 (no DRM support at the moment)
* Cardbus support works
