And then you could "do a Google" on 'laptop solaris', which brings you to quite a lot of blogs of Sun engineers and other Solaris geeks that bring good information on the subject.

When you have the opportunity to test the laptop you want to buy, you might also try Sun's 'Device Detection Tool'.

Ive installed Solaris 10 on a Dell D600 laptop, and Dell Inspiron 6000. All laptops Ive tried has worked with Solaris.

i think that solaris can installed on every laptop but question is that witch models are compatible with solaris?
for example i may be use dri for 3d rendering. is graphical chipset on dell 6400 compatible with dri drivers?

If you are interested in 3D acceleration, Nvidia native drivers would be the best bet.
