I don't have experience of this particular hardware, but the CPU and video card should work fine with Gentoo. The WiFi card and audio are also likely to work, although you may need to fish around for the right drivers (lspci and lshw outputs should help your research). WiDi (like Miracast) may or may not be able to work yet, although there are a couple of software projects looking into it: https://01.org/wds https://github.com/albfan/miraclecast HTH -- Regards, Mick
