My laptop is
        eMachines E625 Series
        Display 15.6" HD 1366 x 768
        Graphics ATI Radeon(TM) Xpress 1200 Graphics
        CPU: AMD Athlon 64 bits (single processor)

I use NetBSD amd64 5.1 GENERIC.  I have a few problems:
I have not yet found out how to run audio.  And I use a USB
dongle (rum) to connect to the internet.

From the dmesg I quote:
... <snip>  ...

...<snip> ...

The laptop is very cheap,  and neither too large nor too small for me.

Perhaps my information is useful for others.

Greetings
