I bought a 1720 recently. I am using it for my FreeBSD development.

One thing I notice with it is that the screen connection is not perfect.
I question how well it will last given that it sometimes needs to be
wiggled to get the screen connection right. Buyer beware!

Things that work: DVD, Display (Nvidia with the nv driver in Xorg),
USB, Wireless, Network, Audio.

Things that aren't supported: webcam, winmodem.

Things I haven't tried: firewire, flash card reader, Nvidia binary
driver.

I got the 1720 not long before making the trip to BSDcan and I haven't
had time to spend playing around with the bits and pieces. It works
well with DTrace on FreeBSD and I was able to use it for presentations
at Yahoo and BSDcan.
