Posting this from an Acer Travelmate TM4402WLMi

Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional; AMD Turion™ 64 Mobile Technology ML-30; 
512MB (512/0) DDR333 SDRAM; 100GB hard drive; integrated DVD-Super Multi 
double-layer drive; 6-in-1 card reader; 15.4" WXGA (1280 x 800) TFT display; 
ATI® MOBILITY™ RADEON® X700 graphics; 802.11b/g WLAN, gigabit LAN, V.92 modem

Everything works perfectly under Kubuntu Linux. Suspend to disk, suspend to 
ram, power management, wireless, OpenGL, etc.

Approx 3 hours battery life as well.
