I have nearly this one - mine got the C60 cpu. I work on it since about a week - and everything should work like a charm. The main issue at the moment is the soundcard under every Distro (except the pre-installed Windows7). And under SuSe for some reason I loose the internet connection from time to time. So software issues.
Else: I've got Fedora in 64bit and the hardware works really fine (for me). I have LXDE Desktop
running.
The website
notebookcheck.net helped me a lot. From what I found, the reviews there seemed to be more reliable. And I definitely appreciate that they take time and explain advantages and disadvantages of the single parts
in comparison with other in the same price/perfomance range. Which seems pretty fair to me.
I'll be glad to give more information. Maybe one of you can point me to where I might get soundcard issues solved (alsamixer: all is on, driver (intel-hda) seems to be on, test-sounds get through, but no audioplayer is able to find the built-in card. Which isn't nice. And since they are quite new out there, there seems to be not much information about what to do now. Sigh. Anyhow.
I'll be glad to help!
