If you use the F18 Live image on a USB stick, reboot the computer from Win8 and keep the esc button pressed you can choose to boot from usb or hard drive. Choosing USB boots up Fedora (seems like there is something regarding secure boot there) Fedora boots up and you can get into gnome. All HW seems to work except for the WLAN.
However, if you reboot the laptop from the F18 live image and try to boot F18 again you only get a black screen after the "verified by vendor" message. If you boot into Win8 and boot into Fedora 18 everything seems to work, but rebooting into F18 from F18 does not work.
I do not have access to the laptop anymore so I will not be able to test anything else. But I will see if I can try F19 alpha on it.
