If you want proper drivers for Server 2008 R2, you probably should get a Server and not a notebook.

It looks like that laptop ships with Vista Home Premium (by default) from Sony - given it's a Core2 Duo with 4GB RAM, your best bet is to install Vista or Windows 7 on it (7 if you can) and run Virtual PC to load and use your Server 2008 R2 / Sharepoint install. If you absolutely must run Server 2008 R2 natively on it, see if you can use Vista or Win7 drivers - if not, you're out of luck (and should again revisit my suggestion).
