I use one even older lapper, HP nx9020, with real 4:3 screen, matte. I'm ready to write about it. The only problem is that it is not possible to find anymore. So, no use. Reading forums and having hardware details, seems that only dell vostro v13 works out of the box for freebsd. Hard drive is what makes it cold and quiet, contrary to latitude 13, which runs on 320gb seagate hot plate. I took into consideration just devices able to get in my area and at reasonable prise tag. Special treat is wide glossy screen. I simply dislike it and want to avoid if possible. Best reagards Zoran
