我相信我的这款笔记本电脑在Ubuntu 12.04上运行平稳。当然，我并没有检查每个硬件的功能，但是显示，无线，声音，USB和蓝牙似乎都可以正常工作。
我在过去几天玩耍时发现的一些有用的花絮：
如果您希望Unity 3D桌面功能正常工作，请不要为图形卡安装专有驱动程序。当我这样做时，Unity 3D停止工作，我无法确定一个简单的解决方法。停用专有驱动程序后，我又走了一步，并按照以下步骤全新安装了开源Raedon驱动程序：如何安装Radeon开源驱动程序？并且Unity 3D可以正常工作。
您可能会注意到风扇始终保持高速运转。我找到了几个网站，解释了如何使用“ i8kutils”软件包来管理风扇速度，该解决方案似乎运行良好。例如：http : //ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=842775 加载风扇设置生效所需的模块：sudo modprobe i8k。
我的配置文件（/etc/i8kmon.conf）如下：
# Run as daemon, override with --daemon option
set config(daemon) 1
# Automatic fan control, override with --auto option
set config(auto) 1
# Status check timeout (seconds), override with --timeout option
set config(timeout) 2
# Report status on stdout, override with --verbose option
set config(verbose) 1
# Temperature thresholds: {fan_speeds low_ac high_ac low_batt high_batt}
set config(0) {{0 0} -1 55 -1 55}
set config(1) {{0 1} 50 60 55 65}
set config(2) {{1 1} 55 80 60 85}
set config(3) {{2 2} 70 128 75 128}

我一直在关注核心温度，以确保风扇设置是合理的，而且看上去确实如此。为此：
sudo apt-get install lm-sensors
sudo sensors-detect
然后安装硬件传感器指示器，
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:alexmurray/indicator-sensors
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install indicator-sensors
供硬件参考和比较，这是lspci的输出：
