thanks for the info Oliver :) I'll look into it, though ACPI (or APM )
with proper suspend is a must for me (hibernation would be great, but
somehow i dont think I've heard of any laptop that supports this in
fbsd... could, and hopefully am, wrong)

I am also now starting to look into Pentium-M (higher end) rather than
dual cores ($$ mainly). I haven't heard one comment about 64bit cpus +
laptops + freebsd. ( Lenovo R52 and Lenovo Z60M are shortlisted...
hopefully I'll be able to test a Toshiba Tecra A7 (dual core, SATA
disk) soon)

thx!
