Technically? I've done it for a few years now and am happy. I daresay, ...it just works.
Well, some things don't, but it mostly works. Sleep is always dodgy for me (won't wake up properly), the camera doesn't work, and the brightness adjuster is spotty, but it's nothing I can't live with.
I'd rather see the money go towards a company that's actually working to support Linux, will deal with the machine under warranty, and so on. Also, the keys are in the right place, there are two mouse buttons, and so on.
