As for wireless, don't depend of built-in devices unless you can be sure
of the chip that's in it. Just get a compatible card.
I doubt that CD drives will be a problem.
If power management isn't an issue, then there shouldn't be many
issues. The worst problem that I can think of is a video driver issue.
