Anyone owns here a Samsung RF710, or other Samsung laptops?

I want to buy a Samsung RF710, but I'm not sure if the hardware would work under Linux. Without Linux it is useless for me.

As I know, there could be problems with hotkeys and screen brightness, which are more Samsung related in general, and also with suspend and Wi-Fi (as I know there is expected to be "Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01)" which is known to be problematic under Linux).

If you have an experience dealing with these problems with your Samsung computers, please tell me about it!

Thanks in advance!

I have a samsung r480 laptop. I had problem changing the screen brightness using hotkeys that was fixed by the upgrade to kde 4.6. No other problem.
