Pros
- Installation was a breeze, fast and easy. (I used the Flight 7 dapper desktop installation)
- Centrino Duo works fine (install the linux-smp or 686 kernel packages)
- ATI 3D Acceleration works fine (using xorg-driver-fglrx 8.24.8)
- XGL/Compiz is running fine with some tweaks so it doesn't freezes
The top of the screen is made entirely of Magnesium Alloy for lightness and resillient which gives it an extremely cool look also
Cons
* Gets a little hot sometimes on the keyboard, nothing out of the ordinary though.
Pictures
- Pictures I found on the net were for the 5672 model which have just about the same look, only with a bigger monitor - a 15.4" WXGA.
