I got one of these in November and primarily run Ubuntu on it, and I&#x27;m really happy with it. The only thing that (really) sucks is that Suspend&#x2F;Resume is broken, so you get a kernel panic if you shut the lid. Otherwise, it&#x27;s wicked fast (compiles LLVM in 10 minutes and CoreCLR in about 2 minutes) and the display is really nice.<p>The only gripe I have with the layout of the keyboard is that sometimes the palm of my hand grazes the touchpad while typing, which on Ubuntu causes a click and moves the mouse cursor - a minor annoyance when typing but easily undoable.<p>The Ubuntu installation process is a little dicey but some person on the Ubuntu forums posted a detailed list of instructions and they mostly worked for me. Upgrading the kernel did not fix my suspend&#x2F;resume problem, though.

It can last through a flight across the United States, so that works for me.
