There are many. I've had good luck with Lenovos. I'm writing this from a friend's T530 and I own an X220, but neither have a 17" screen. A first step is to search the archives of the mobile, acpi and questions mailing lists. There are also some helpful threads on the forums and http://laptop.bsdgroup.de/. Once you have a system specd out, verify that the video and wireless cards are supported. Searching for something like "FreeBSD Centrino Advanced-N 6205" should do it.
