Several Linux distros tested including Ubuntu, | but Debian is not in the list. Appears to have a non-removable | battery with nothing said about replacing it. And of course the | CPU (whether you pick Intel or AMD) is full of blobs, management | engine, etc. I didn't notice a mention of a built in microphone | but it is a standard thing to find on laptops, so what I was | hoping to see was a way to hard disconnect it. | avrionov wrote: | If you click on configure, you can see the price of all | upgrades. | ilrwbwrkhv wrote: | How does the touchpad and the 2 finger scroll compare to the | MacBooks?
