Looks decent.  The optimus nvidia stuff doesn't work in Linux yet,
so until that is fixed it would be intel only video.

No idea what wifi it uses.  Claims to be intel on the amazon page.
Might be an intel 1000 if it is b/g/n.  No idea how linux support for
that would be.  5xxx and 6xxx are fine in linux.
