My advice would be to take a FreeBSD liveCD to a store and ask if you can t=
ry
to boot the laptop you want from the CD. That's virtually the only way to k=
now
for sure that things will work.

If they don't cooperate, take your business elsewhere. In my experience, a
smaller local computer shop will probably be more interested in helping you=
 than a
large retailer.
