DRI works, its fairly snappy whilst compiling (its main use; I write BSD based apps in C++, so it gets quite a pounding), battery life is good (~2hrs with workload), sound works. It comes with an intel 3945(a)bg wifi card which doesn't work (yet). Best of all (better than my home workstation) it even has a serial port for remote ddb - dead handy.
