I have that model (off the top of my head: 1952 CC, 14.1" screen), and
it works like a charm with Linux - I've ran Ubuntu, Gentoo and Arch
Linux on it.

No clue about that particular aspect. Also, since mine was plugged in
95% of the time I'm not sure how battery usage under Linux was
compared to its original OS (Windows XP).
