I want to echo Matthias on the T450s. I currently own that laptop also running OpenBSD 6.1 with full disk encryption. Pretty much everything works out of the box. Video, Wireless, Upgraded mine to use an SSD. I am currently using it for Python Web development and haven’t once felt like it was getting sluggish. Great machine all around.
