Ubuntu Raring is even more compatible. The only thing that doesn't work is the instant key (the one opposite to the power button), but it even wasn't mentioned by OP.



The only trick required was enabling the subwoofer:



sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf


and then adding the line 



options snd-hda-intel model=asus-mode4


at the end of that file, and... reboot (I don't know if it is possible to do it without rebooting)



The only note: don't install mainstream kernel; these kernels brake some things (like keyboard backlight)
