don't need that (well you can have problems with ATI's driver - close
sourced, the XFree86/X.org one works well, you can get it working with
ATI's one too, but ...)
-Well I can't use WPA under Linux with IPW2200 - all centrino notebooks
have this problems (or my router sucks :-)
-You have to patch kernel to get Baterry status, as ASUS's BIOS sucks
-You have to disable lapic (kernel param nolapic) to get everything work
the right way
There is a great linux forum for this notebook.
Well, if it's good for your tasks - i suppose that the burner is not so
fast as you wish and the disk is slow (4200 rpm). Maybe you should check
for dealers, where you can configure every part of system.
