sony vaio VPCZ11Z9E/B ,will it blend?

[werty2010]

im interested in this laptop but im not sure if it is compatible with ubuntu
some of its features are:
- NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 330M GPU + Intel® HD(2 cards for stamina/performance mode)
will ubuntu be able to recognize them and switch graphics mode according to use of programms?
-Intel® Core™ i7-620M with Intel® Turbo Boost which also has stamina/perfomance mode
-6gb PC3-8500 1066mhz DDR3 SDRAM
-Quad SSD (RAID 0),256gb
-audio supports Dolby Home Theater v3(in windows)
-Fingerprint Sensor
-special buttons: Dynamic Hybrid Graphic, VAIO, Assist
will the above work in ubuntu?

I'd be very careful, this laptop (seems to have an awesome display) has been clearly designed with only windows in mind. Try to find somebody who's tried it with linux to get real-life info first.

About the switchable graphics: http://www.google.com/search?q=linux...hable+graphics
summary: not very likely to work well right now

other important point: watch out with the RAID (also blocks trim support it seems)

It seems some people have been working with this: look at this mailing list archive and search for "VPCZ11Z9E/B": https://lists.launchpad.net/sony-vai...s/threads.html

you could contact the one with the laptop asking the questions, he seems to have worked on it late March
