 +*UPDATE: (Apr 2015) I recently put Linux Mint 17 on this and it works perfectly and has fixed a lot of problems such as the mouse works great now.*
 +
 +Here are my notes on what I have working.
 +
 +Yet to get working is
 +  * Work out why WIFI is so flaky. Doesn't work with all routers and drops signal.
 +  * Get Nvidia card working for certain applications using something like: http://bumblebee-project.org/
 +  * Turbo CPU mode for longer that a split second.
 +  * Control fan levels even more.
 +  * Get finger reader working
