it looks practically identical to my toshiba nb255

all ok, including wireless atheros, in that model no idea what is the wireless adapter

i am not sure about the speakers on this model, the one i saw only had a small speaker that any cellphone with beat, hope i'm wrong, same in my toshiba, poor sound, external speaker or headphones required

i'm using kde4 with compiz in it, all ok except keyboard brightness controls, won't work

be sure to buy a external dvd drive or create a liveusb installer

mine is dualbooting with xp with no problems
