More I read, less I know. Just as I found that candida- te for my new laptop, dell latitude 13 comes with anti- glare screen and all hardware well supported, forums reveal that it's 320gb hard drive heats a lot. It makes vostro v13 better runner, but... How sounds the idea to have a place on freebsd site for such kind of data/wiki? Laptop recommendations should include new models only, since older ones are not easy to find in usable condition. Also, making a go for home node, cold and quiet box, with parts fine under freebsd is not so obvious. Especially for newer graphic chips. It shows that my first idea to get cold phenom II on the integrated mobo fails on almost all parts. Yep, some kind of wiki, saying "phenom to use under 8.2 to be cold and chip to find for amd mobo to take small amount of power might be..." At last, sad thing is that only before mentioned dell comes supported and with matte screen. What is the box you would recommend, not going deep into past decade? Best regards all Zoran
