Power management, webcam, trackpad, accessories, etc tend not to be a good fit for niche BSD and Linux. Stick to desktop or server.

Trackpad? I've had OpenBSD on ~6 laptops, old and new, but the trackpad always worked fine

Do you disagree with my comment? Or just about trackpad?

huh? I've been running Arch exclusively on my laptops for at least 7 years

Thinkpad? Or dell?

How is the battery life?

Let's see, System 76, previously Dell and Samsung.

All the pretty much the smallest and lightest I could find. So not fantastic, but good enough. For me, battery life is much lower on the list than "small and lightweight" and "works well with Linux".
