Typical netbook, with twists
Points of interest:
++ FullHD resolution (1920x1080). I don't know any other notebook
with this kind of resolution under about $500.
+ $249.00 today (list price is $399.00)
+ if you collect AirMiles, and you go through the AirMiles site, you can
get about $25 worth of AirMiles back
+ 4G RAM (2G seems standard in netbooks so this is very good)
- 14", so larger and heavier than I'd like. But you might like the size.
- 32 eMMC "disk". Small, but enough for a full Linux distro. Normal for
netbooks due to Microsoft's licensing model.
- slow but useable: "Intel Celeron N3060 1.60 GHz with Intel Burst
Technology up to 2.48 GHz"
Might have problems with the Linux/Atom bug I keep pointing at.
+ free delivery (and return). MicrosoftStore's policies are pretty good
+ comes with 64-bit Windows 10 so it must have 64-bit UEFI firmware.
Makes Linux installation a lot easier.
I bet that this can run Linux well, but I haven't tried it. Nor have I
googled to find other's experiences.
