[geeks] FreeBSD Laptop

Hey all,

I'm looking to replace my aging and now-a-bit-frustrating MacBook Pro.

13" is getting a bit too tiny for me, and the battery seems to be showing 
some age.

So...I need a laptop I can tolerate to use! ;)

Needed:
1). >13" screen, 15" preferred, but 14 or 13 high-res would likely be fine
2). Higher resolution than 1280x600, 1920x1080 preferred but not too 
essential
3). Memory/drive should either be reasonably priced if soldered, or 
unsoldered
4). Wireless has to work in FreeBSD or a tiny USB dongle has to be 
recommended
5). FreeBSD battery life has to be longer than 4 hours.
6). Build quality should be above terrible, but not 
necessarily three-layer titanium.
7). Shouldn't be outrageously thick.

Any recommendations?

As tempting as the Evo n400c recommendation was...I'd prefer 
something...recent ;)
