IMHO OpenBSD is pretty usable in a laptop, old or modern. Most of things
run in the right way. From my point of view only a few things are
missing now:

- usb ports after resume, but only in certain thinkpad models (like
  X201, I guess, and T410)
- no disk journaling
- no NTFS support
- no Linux emulation in amd64


But there are some advantages:

- suspend/resume out of the box (except the usb stuff in some
  computers). 
- speed booting and shutting down
- simplest installation/upgrade way
- it works with modern integrated intel video cards (no need of kvm,
  thought no acceleration)
- pf firewall


I have OpenBSD current installed in my laptop, with Fedora. My primary
system right now is Fedora, but for other reasons. My OpenBSD current
works perfectly for most of my tasks: internet navigation, mail,
perl/mysql development, music, video, photos, etc.) 

My advice: it is well worth to try and experiment by yourself.
