Does anyone have any experience with running Slackware on the recent System 76 Pangolin Performance Laptops?

I am thinking of purchasing one because I need a more powerful system than my current system.

Current System:
- Dell Latitude D630
- Core 2 Duo 2.2 GHz processor
- 4 GB RAM

Right now I'm using Slackware 13.1 on the above hardware and everything runs perfectly. Suspend works perfectly, I never shut down my system. Wicd and wireless network changes are seamless and automatic. The system I'd like to go to is listed below.

System 76 Pangolin Performance:
- Core i7-620M processor
- 8GB of RAM

I don't want to make the purchase if I'm going to run into a bunch of hardware configuration problems. I'm looking to solve my performance problems not create a whole host of new ones.

I already contacted sales at System 76 and they pointed me to this forum. I have also found nothing recent on the Internet to indicate whether purchasing this for Slackware is a good idea.

Any experience anyone has to share along these lines would be greatly appreciated.
