Discussion
Mine is Core i7. I've got problems.
1. Fans are loud and don't back off like they are supposed to. Fixed by installing proprietary graphics drivers for the Radeon but of course this was very difficult for my dual head KDE setup.
2. No ACPI support in the current kernel. Supposed to be in the next one. Locks up when it goes to sleep or hibernates. Tried removing acpid packages and pm-utils and hibernate package but no dice. If I lock the screen, the next day I come in and it's locked up.
