Hi David,

just some issues and experiences:

- most new laptops don't have a serial port these days. You may
circumvent this with usb-to-serial adapters (just in case the missing
serial port would you prevent from some machine).

- I have very good experiences with IBM Laptops (X-Series and T-Series).
They run very good with FreeBSD and Linux, are mechanically stable, have
good support (if you need it) and the keyboard is what I like.
