I had a V505B as a loaner in August. I installed a snapshot on
it without problems. The builtin WIFI was not recognized, but
that was easily fixed. There was no problem with ACPI.

You probably have a slightly different model (based on the fact
that your builtin WiFi worked OOTB), but I doubt it will have a
big impact on ACPI.

How does it fail?

I had spic0 configured, but never use any of its features.
