The product is a great but for the price. The software although great improvement in Linux out of the box, will be old and need upgrades if you are a power user and know Linux.
Pros:
Specs are Good(Processor should be upgraded to 4th to 5th gen)
Good Price
Working Ubuntu with tested hardware. Best Linux out of the box experience
Graphics card performs good
Screen good enough for all purposes
HDMI out works great(Like it always does)
USB file transfer is mind blowing. Around~100MegaBytes/sec from one partition to another and~70 to external HDD.
Good dual microphone inbuilt with noise canceling to do video chat. Location near camera allows typing while audio/video calls without other party hearing the typing noise.
Ultra thin design makes it slid in anywhere.
Cons:
Keyboard, screen and top are dust magnets.
Typing on the keyboard takes getting used to.
Will need expert tinkering to utilize the graphics card completely.
The internal HDD is divided into a single partition.
Constant updates to software, although free, become a nuisance.
Becomes terribly hot if gaming
Recommendation: Do not use Ubuntu that can be your personal choice what you wanna use because these days you can choose to have a different OS I choose Win 10.
