I want to buy a Dell Inspiron 15R Special Edition. On ubuntu.com, it says that Dell Inspiron 15R will work properly. But the special edition has some special issues.

I will list the hardware:

3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i7-3612QM processor (6M Cache, up to 3.1 GHz)
15.6" Full High Definition (1080p) LED Display
8GB2 Dual Channel DDR3 SDRAM at 1600MHz
750GB 7200 RPM SATA Hard Drive
8X Tray Load CD/DVD Burner (Dual Layer DVD+/-R Drive)
AMD Radeon™ HD 7730M 2GB
Built-in Skullcandy™ stereo speakers and Waves MaxxAudio® 4 technology

Will it have any problem?
