You're welcome!

... Debian Sid (Still In Development) is based on Arch?  That's quite 
new, or maybe I didn't understand your point...

I installed these packages:
   firmware-iwlwifi
   firmware-linux
   firmware-linux-nonfree
   firmware-misc-nonfree

Yes, no worry at all.

I don't often run on battery, last time I did I had a quite comfortable

remember well.

All in all, it's a quite fantastic machine.
