And I want to know is some issue with hardware described above especially sound, wifi and grafics.
Previously I've had intel wifi 4965 and realtek ALC268. First use iwl4965-ucode (package) and module in kernel, second causing some issue: it was necessary to add "options snd_hda_intel model=acer" to /etc/modprobe.conf.
If anyone use that laptop or some of hardware, please describe me the details about it ( firmware, /etc/modprobe.conf or any incompatibles ).
I'm interested about:
-Does nvidia 177.82-1 driver support Geforce 9650M GT,
-Does iwlwifi-5000-ucode firmware and kernel module enough for Intel Wireless WiFi Link 5100 to work,
-Does Realtek ALC663 work smoothly (just alsa), or any /etc/modprobe.conf or /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base options are necessary?
I'll be grateful.

I can answer about the wireless intel 5100 part. I've got an intel 5300 and it's working fine. The drivers are included in the 2.6.27 kernel so you just have to install the iwlwifi-5000-ucode firmware.

I also have a 5100 wireless card and it's working perfectly on 2.6.27, no issues whatsoever.

I've got a laptop similar to the one you want to buy, and everything works just fine.
