I am seriously considering one, more than anything else for the 15.4 inch screen with a resolution of 1920 X 1200, assuming that I can get that out of XOrg. I want the resolution but don't want a monster laptop. Apart from that the price seems ok with 2G of memory, and a Intel? 3945 802.11a/g Dual-band Mini-Card (DW1390) that should work someday ;) I assume that the bluetooth will probably work and if not, no big deal.

Thanks in advance for any information or suggestions,

From my experience getting that resolution out of Xorg will not be a issue at all. My suggestion is to go with a Nvidia chipset if you want decent graphics support. The ATI ones that are common lack 3d support. I am not sure how the generic Intel ones are for that, but been less than impressed with them under windows from what I have seen.
