As posted by others, you will have to look at the specs for each model before purchasing. I did this and still ended up with an issue between drive types. The specs said IDE drives and the BIOS showed SATA drives. I made sure that I had nvidia graphics as this made life easier because I needed 3d support which I never got working on any newer ATI card I have ever tried. (2 yrs ago). With the latest kernel in FC4, I can even use the card reader that wouldn't work when I first got the laptop.
