Let me put it another way, then.  When I boot the machine into windows, it
suspends properly, sound always works, and I did not have to download and
compile my own video driver.  And at least thus far it has not
spontaneously locked up on me.  So I don't think of these as "hardware"  
issues (not counting the heat/keyboard), more like "linux support of
certain hardware" issues, which is really what the whole "linux on
laptops" thing is about.

And for the record I am still willing to tolerate all the things I 
mentioned, rather than boot into Windows. :)
