Hey,

The laptop is fine. Works fine with SXCE with some minor comments:

 - if you plan getting the laptop with 4GB RAM please read:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=44126&tstart=0

 - the NIC is e1000g0 supported
 - wifi, should be covered by the iwk driver
 - sound from OSS (I havent got time to try this, should work)

Good points of this laptop: 
 - small size, easy to carry
 - get the 8cell battery if you can, it will let you run aprox 5hr (in reality 
you get 4h 20minutes)
 - quiet, this is one of the most quiet machine I've ever had 
 - Solaris Express installs veru easily, make sure you use build 74+ for X11 
Intel driver 
 - keyboard

Bad points:
 - no control in BIOS over the video memory
 - default factory harddisk is a bit too slow, a 7200rpm/16MB would be better

Enjoy,
Stefan
