I'm using an Acer Aspire 1501Lmi. ACPI works fine (except for suspend).
Nice battery life (around 3 hours while compiling GHC). Big display
(1400x1050). Just a bit heavy and hot (~ 50° C while idling according
to ACPI).

Pretty much the same as the e-machines one.

I haven't tried full-duplex, but hardware mixing works with
dxs_support=4. :-)

Firewire works over here, but no assembly optimizations. :-(

Exactly the same.

Here too.
