this is nearly the same as my machine except for the hard-drive. I've been
running debian-amd64 on it for months and things work very well. You can see
my details here:

CPU scaling works well, and the laptop is cool and quiet unless you are doing
something CPU intensive.
The only things that don't work well on this laptop are the built in flash
card reader and the winmodem. Also, the built-in wireless is a little flaky
for some users with a 64bit kernel. Hopefully this will improve.
Happy shopping!
