Actually these days, Haiku will probably at least boot on $random laptop, and if you have a WiFi chip that FreeBSD also supports (we reuse their network drivers), you can probably even connect wirelessly. I run Haiku on my ThinkPad E550 (2015), I know some of the other devs run on Dell XPS 13, HPs, etc. And the same is true in towers (Ryzen is becoming a popular pick.) GPU acceleration drivers are the one real kind of driver we lack at this point.
