I've recently become disgusted with having an unused integrated keyboard on my laptop as well as the huge size of the laptop (17", and very thick!)

I want something less giant (so I can put it in my motorcycle saddlebags) and the Iconia 6120 caught my eye. It will fit in my saddle bag, and it has two screens. I plan to run linux so this question is two part:

1) Does anyone have experience with linux on the Iconia 6120? I've read reports that both screens are supported. I don't care about the touchscreen much, but it would be nice if it worked.

2) Does anyone know if the "SATA" hard drive is SATA, not SATA II? I would have assumed it was SATA II, but maybe not. I have a SSD that I will put in if it would help boot speeds. If it's going to be bottlenecked too much by the slow bus, then maybe not?

TH is #1! Thanks!
