    Linux brings all (most) of the drivers it needs with the kernel.

    Get yourself the latest stable (jaunty 9.04) livecd and test in on your laptop.:

    You may have a problem with wifi.
    Google is your friend in that case.

    Otherwise I am sure that some here can help on that front.

      It would seem this laptop has intel 5100 wireless which according to posts on the ubuntu forum works out of the box from intrepid. So with a bit of luck you might not have too many issues but as fintan recommends try it out on a live basis first.
