BTW I quite recommend Amilo Xi2550 as it runs surprisingly smoothly. The wireless device, USB, firewire, all ACPI related stuff like suspend, hibernate etc work properly on Linux. Even the ATI driver didn't crash on my machine so far... (Previously I had Acer TravelMate and that was really painful compared to this).
The only problem I have is that ALSA sound driver doesn't recognize the headphones insertion and keeps the speakers playing. And of course... the small built-in subwoofer doesn't work at all. I hope I'll find some solution shortly...
I hope this will help you to decide.
