Cheap laptop recommendation

Get a used one.
As long as you don't want high end graphics support - "gaming laptop", for which FreeBSD wasn't the best choice, or need a large full power CPU for lots of large compiling jobs, which IMO ain't no laptop for anyway, a good, solid used one will do the job, saves you a lot of money, and is more probable to be supported than any brand new hardware (see the according sites for which HW is supported.)
You may exchange the drive(s), add some more RAM, or need to exchange the WLAN module (~twenty bucks), but anyway it was worth a thought.

I always have to disagree on the gaming bit. FreeBSD support for games is pretty great. And GPU performance is better is most cases then on other platforms in my experience.

Hahaha... 'IPL', great! And of course, the really famous photos of thinkpads on the ISS. I was kind of sad totally gutted to see them using crappy microsoft surfaces and iphones on the recent artemis 2 mission. Whatever happened to you, IBM? 😥

Beware of lenovo thinkpads and wifi cards,the bios has a whitelist of models..
So if not in whitelist cannot change the wifi card
But in FreeBSD I have no problem with wifi
