I looked at the R60 for the same reasons and purchased one a few months
ago.

The sound driver has been working perfectly for the past few weeks. Take
a look at the developments on snd_hda. The driver is being discussed on
-multimedia.

The default wireless card did not work; it is the Intel 3945A/B/G. I
replaced this card with an Atheros card which works great.

A patch was recently posted to -multimedia or -mobile to enable AGP
support for the chipset. Support for the i945GM has also been added to
the latest X.Org port.
