I am using the vaio grx-560 not very light, but everything that i want 
to use is working. things i haven't tried are the on board modem, and 
memory card slot. acpi seems fine, sound is working well (much better 
than it was on Linux) cardbus is functioning. Though if you are looking 
for something to lug around this laptop is really more of a desktop ;-)
If you haven't already check out 
http://gerda.univie.ac.at/freebsd-laptops/ between those three brands 
there seem to be upwards of fifty represented.
