I'm sure a lot of people will be interested in having Lion on this laptop, since it offers great value for money spent. The specs are:
i5 2410 2.3 GHz
4 GB memory
Intel HD3000 and GT520M graphics
2xUSB 2.0, 1x USB 3.0, HDMI, VGA and Ethernet ports
500 GB harddrive
No optical drive
Weight 1.66 kg (3.7 lb)
I used the installation procedure and kexts described here:

Working so far:
Battery
Audio
Graphics: Intel HDMI and laptop display
Cardreader (does not show in system profiler but works)
USB3 (have not tested with a USB3 device)
Ethernet: Atheros 8151
Wireless: Atheros 9825
Bluetooth: Atheros 3011 requires a reboot via windows to turn it on
Not working:
Sleep, shutdown and proper power management
GT 520M is recognized but not used
HDMI audio
VGA: only recognized if external display is attached before boot and the picture is very bad
I tried to look at the DSDT to enable sleep, since that and Bluetooth are the only things I would really like to get working. I had no success in the edits and it's actually way too advanced for me. I'm now asking for someone with DSDT editing skills to take a look at the unmodified DSDT. This laptop is very promising and I think a custom DSDT would benefit many people (including me of course).
