I have a Mobilepro 880 that I am very happy with.  They're actually
fairly cheap (~$350) at this point, if you check ubid.

Hi,

I've tried the NEC MobilePro 770 and 780.  They both have more memory
and faster processors than the 2010c.  I have not tried running netbsd
on the 2010c, so I cannot comment on it.  The 780 boots noticeably
faster than the 770.  The NECs are more expensive, however I've noticed
that prices on eBay have come down in the past 2-3 months.

The keyboard on the NEC MobilePro 770, 780 (and 790) is much nicer than
the keyboard on the 2010c.  If you will be using a console or xterm, you
will appreciate the difference.
