Arch on an ASUS N51

I was wondering if anyone sees any potential issues with arch on an ASUS N51 Series N51Vf-A1.

Yes, I recommend this laptop because of nvidia video card and intel chipset and wireless which is very compatible with Linux. I have an Asus G1S laptop and everything works fine.

Can't speak for the N51 but....
I got a G1Sn which also is equipped with Intel chipset and Nvidia Graphic card and you can't install Nvidia driver if all of the 3Gb ram that it was delivered with is installed, this is because of this problem: http://www.nvnews.net/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=113682 also mentioned on other sites if googling a little.
The webcam is mounted upside down.
And of course delivering it with 3Gb disables all dual channel stuff.
