Suggestions weren't mind-blowing or anything, but the usual suspects: Thinkpads and people saying some random laptop mostly works for them.
Mostly, it seems folks don't really run NetBSD on laptops, and if they do they're silent about it. I personally suspect most people run NetBSD as on servers, virtualization (virtualbox or qemu), or toys like old machines/ports and arm boards. I'd guess a very small percentage of NetBSD users use it as a daily driver.
