[solved] Odd partition on Dell Latitude 13

I'm getting ready to put Win7 and Arch on a new Latitude 13. The current partition scheme is fairly straightforward, except for the Dell Utility in sda1, which I plan on leaving, and a partition of "unknown" file type at sda5. I think this is for hibernation, as it is 3.32 GiB, the size of the RAM (although the actually memory seen is 3595232, which is about 3.6GiB). So, can I delete it? Why would I not want to?

Well, when I check it with good ol' fdisk -l, it says its a swap filesystem. Problem solved.
