wireless, sound, X, apm -C keeps it relatively silent and if you get
the second battery, you'll get a 1.8Kg sub-notebook running obsd for
about 6 hours

I believe the newer FJS lifebooks are much more noisy and have a
reduced battery life (that's core duo for you)

It doesn't suspend, though, but I can live without that

Does anybody still use this machine?

 wireless
Original iwi(4) miniPCI card that comes with this sub-notebook takes
down from time to time with fatal firmware error,
unknown authentication state 1 et cetera on 4.8-current with GENERIC
kernel. Maybe it gone broken with some commit if it worked perfectly
before from your words.

 It doesn't suspend
I see the ACPI is kinda buggy on this machine. At least it doesn't work
with current 4.8 still and maybe never will.
I've got effect like broken screen at this notebook when i tried to
bring machine into light or deep sleep. Same behaviour when trying
to run X with default generated config (X -configure).

I'm still use it without X config, and graphics works well, DRM too
as with most of integrated adapters which are supported by intel(4).
Looks like 915resolution gone integrated, since mine runs in native
resolution without any hacks.

 I tried a Fujutsu P1120 a while back.  Everything worked except the
 touchscreen, and I understand that was fixed since then, but I haven't had a
 chance to try it.  Probably would run much better under OpenBSD than WinXP.

 Two computers I am thinking of are the MSI WIND (street price around $550
 canadian) and the Acer Aspire One A110-1955 (street price around $380
 canadian)

I am unsure if acer aspire 2920 qualifies as a sub-notebook but
it is fairly small, not too expensive and is probably the best
supported laptop I've ever ran OpenBSD on so far. Hacking in pubs
is way more fun when you have a working wifi and battery state ;)

I used Sharp Zaurus SL-c3200 with OpenBSD/arm for a while. OpenBSD port 
is great and its probably the smallest device to run OpenBSD.


If you need portability over usability and performance, this machine 
will fit the bill.
But for serious work you need something with more comfortable keyboard, 
bigger screen and a little bit more power under the hood.
