Either no one here has installed OpenBSD on recent hardware, or they may be reticent to generalizing on only one data point. Besides, labelling performance as "acceptable" or at an "enticing" price point is subjective. Your best bet while shopping for new hardware is to install OpenBSD to a flash drive & take this to a few brick & mortar stores seeing if you can reboot demonstration models yourself. Sometimes sales staffs allow this, & sometimes not. If you do decide to order online, be sure you understand the return policy before purchase.

Fingerprint Readers: Do we have any means of utilizing them on OBSD?
The following can be found in OpenBSD's packages/ports:

sysutils/login_fingerprint

How compatible this application is to current hardware offerings is unknown to me.
