It detected all the hardware (webcam, USB ports, WiFi, eth0, multi-camera card slots, etc. I only have 2 issues with it. The video can be 1333x768 but it will only do 1024x768. And it has a problem with the battery. Initially, its fine. However, after suspending to sleep, when it wakes, it says there is no battery (it works without plugging into electricity) and won't give me how much battery is left. When I plug into power, then unplug the power, it then sees the battery. Weird. By the way, I love the netbook. I think Acer is an underrated PC manufacturer. I have 3 Acer systems, laptop 3 year old), desktop, and now the netbook. I've never had to call Acer tech support. Not THAT'S GOOD! Mark
