I ended up returning it as tt was a nightmare to downgrade it to Windows XP from Vista. Unfortunately, I needed Windows on it as it was a work laptop and some of my work software would only work on actual Windows (not wine). However, I installed linux on a different partition and it ran fine - at that stage I had Mandriva 2008 on it, I think. The webcam and wifi all worked flawlessly on it. You could check to see if the components on your laptop are similar to the 2920 model. If they are, then it is probably a good bet. Viv
