Is this an advertisement?! Let's look at the features of the model they linked: 14" non-retina display (I calculate 157 DPI), lackluster trackpad, "Intel HD graphics", "plastic construction" and Linux. Okay, you can get 32 GB of memory and upgradable SSD.
There is no 14" MacBook Pro, but anything less than 15" is not "pro" IMO :) so I will use that one. So, MBP: bigger screen (15"), better resolution (220 DPI), better video (Radeon 450 with 2 GB VRAM + Intel HD Graphics 530), better CPU (up to i7 2.9GHz), better trackpad, better build quality, better OS†.
How, exactly, is this an MBP alternative? It has exactly nothing of the things I buy a MBP for. How did this advertisement make it onto the front page?
† I like Linux, but I've found OS X to be a Unix that just works. Every time I use Linux I'm always fiddling with stuff. Additionally, there is commercial software available for macOS, so for non-tech people, it is much more usable.
