Hi,

I'm hoping to get a new laptop to run NetBSD (and maybe xp, because of
this cad package).  Are there any exceptionally good ones when it comes
to NetBSD compatibility?  How about ones that I should avoid?

Are any of the built-in WLAN interfaces supported by NetBSD?

How about Intel vs. AMD - are the Intel chipsets supported better than
those of the laptops with AMD CPU's?

I'd like to have a decent display (1280x1024 or more), built-in Ethernet
and CDRW/DVD, 512 MB of RAM, > 2 GHz CPU, and a WLAN interface, if I can
use it under NetBSD.

My old problem still applies: I don't think I can try NetBSD on a laptop
before actually purchasing one and I don't want to make a mistake..

Thanks for any suggestions,
