I've been running it on my laptop since Breezy.  I'm currently running
Feisty beta.  There are some issues with non-free software, such as
Flash plug-in and Skype, not being available in 64-bit versions, but you
can run the 32-bit versions if you have the appropriate 32-bit libraries
installed and/or (as I have) set up a 32-bit chroot.

Also, I may be wrong but I think there are a few packages that aren't
available in the AMD64 version.

Hope that helps,

JT
