After bugging this list for advice on what to purchase I figure you
are all owed some followup on what worked, and what didn't.

This is a (slightly cleaned up) version of notes to myself:

The following features worked:

if_rue on 9.1
if_run
The builtin SSD
I  am using ZFS.  However, I am seeing very slow access patterns.  It
isn't clear whose fault it is (tuning, zfs, disk, compression, etc.)
volume keys, mute key, suspend key, via X11
webcamd + pwcview
microphone works with /dev/dsp2.0
It seems like suspend works, but resume does not ;)
headphones Just Work when plugged in.  No manual changing of
default_unit is required and the sound changes over without restarting
any application
if_alc originally did not work, but db has a patch to make this owkr
lagg with wired/wireless failover on the same network
Legacy boot (UEFI mode)

The following did not work:

/dev/speaker
if_rue regressed after 9.1 and no longer works
if_iwn does not work on this machine
switching to console from X (expected because of KMS)
The change-brightness keys do not work: brightness changes in dev.acpi
but this changes nothing visible.
The "video" key results in no events
change screen key is "p" according to Xorg, so I can't script events on it.
wifi key has no effect. Pressing the key on the if_run device also has
no effect.
webcamd via rc.conf does not work - but this isn't laptop specific
webcamd via devd restarting - this is not expected. restarting devd
should auto-detect webcamd
resume fails
I think the "restart" key does not work but I havn't tested in a while.
lagg with wired/wireless failover different networks does not work.
lagg can't figure out what changed
UEFI booting
Reverse tab key (shift-tab) does not function as expected in openbox.
I can't figure out whose fault this is.

Untested:
hw.acpi.reset_video=1
