This is a bad choice for a laptop... dual core AMD does not have any
kind of power savings support right now, and it is likely to be a while
before that is fixed. So you'll have a shorter battery life.
I'd opt for a Core 2 Duo system instead.

I'd go for a Toshiba Tecra M5 right now. We have some internal efforts
around this laptop, so you're likely to see any features not supported
out of the box supported really soon.
Right now, the platform is quite usable, and it ships with supported
Intel gigabit ethernet and supported 3945 wifi.
Of course, this is for OpenSolaris. Solaris 10 support is entirely a
different matter.
