Description: This laptop works well. However, at this time, you must use the compat wireless 2.6 kernel to get wireless working. Also, I am not so sure I get full speed USB. On the other hand, I can play Sauerbraten on it! In other words, the graphics sub system works great.

This laptop works good. Must use a compat kernel for wireless at this time. Fast enough to play Sauerbraten on a laptop.
USB might not be at full speed.
