Laptop Compatibility

Top Laptops for use with FreeBSD

Each laptop is scored based on an aggregate of:

  • How many laptop components are detected, where each fully auto-detected component adds a point
  • Whether devices have degraded functionality, reducing the score by 0.5-1.5 based on severity and how important it is to the laptop experience (Wi-Fi/Graphics weighted more)
  • User provided comments about test results, and how involved setup is for that device
