If you boot the liveCD you can test. Looks like a standard lappy, nothing too special. I'd imagine it will be fine:

Without knowing the exact hardware you have in it, it's hard to say.

Yes the liveCD OS is the same. Nvidia are hugely supported. "dell wireless 1395" will probably some cheap broadcom thing which will be installable using the hardware driver app once you get a wired connection. The rest will be fine.
