To go one step further if anyone is considering a new laptop then maybe 
consider a Intel integrated chip at least if intense 3d gaming isn't a 
big deal.
 Intel works out of the box in most cases thanks to excellent Linux 
support recently for which they really should be commended.

As far as ATI at this point it should be a non choice just to many 
problems and non supported "Features" or was that programs?
