I would perhaps spend some time running it in a VM, and then if you decide you like it and think it's worth the time investment, maybe try installing it on your laptop. I run it on a Thinkpad X1. The handbook is a great resource:

The book, Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System is quite good if you like technical reading.
