This article will tell you how to get the basic components of the laptop running with Arch.
Firmware upgrade
This part is optional but may improve stability/performance/compatibility, Although I have no proof for that.

Linux on this laptop has worked well.
Supported
- Hibernate / Resume
- Volume keys (hardware keys)
- Brightness keys (Fn + up/down arrows)

Installation
The Installation guide should get you running. UEFI booting also works perfectly when enabled in the BIOS.
Touchpad
For the TouchPad to work correctly install the xf86-input-synaptics package. The touchpad works really well and also supports two finger scroll.
