You may want to consider getting an iBook. It's not exactly
FreeBSD, but it's a Unix platform. I have been running FreeBSD
for several years now and have often contemplated getting a laptop
and putting freebsd on it. But I just did not have the time
to do all the research and then worry about all the special
apm services working.

With the iBook/airport card and the airport base station, I
can work anywhere in the house and connect to my server
and perform administration work as needed. I don't have to
worry about apm. I get audio and video (you enter a new world
of computer use with a wireless card and iTunes :) )
a cdburner and the ability to create movies. But, the big seller,
I still get all the unix sw that I use on FreeBSD.
