I got mine a few months ago, and overall I'm rather pleased with the purchase, however I don't think I'm quite as satisfied as the author of this article. For the most part, I think it's a really great machine, but there are some oddities that have caused me trouble. I've been running Arch Linux + Plasma on it, and have gone between X11 and Wayland (more on that later). - My touchpad is really flaky. Sometimes it works perfectly, but most of the time simply clicking just... doesn't work. Moving the cursor, tap to click, scrolling work fine, but the actual pressing the touchpad to an audible click won't result in a click on the machine. This seems to be a hardware issue, it can sometimes be remedied by pressing down across the whole touchpad, but not always, and it seems to be worse when it's cold in the room. Also, once in a blue moon it won't initialize quite right when waking from sleep causing it to be hypersensitive; putting the device back to sleep and rewaking it fixes that. - They mentioned they were fond of the battery life, which surprises me as that seems to be the devices biggest failing. I'm somewhat new to Linux laptops, but even after setting up hibernate and deep sleep and all that, I simply can't leave it on sleep over night or it will drain the entire battery. The battery life while using it is fine, not as good as my old MacBook, but I've had to start shutting it down when not in use. - The speakers really aren't great. A big part of that is the fact that they're downward facing, which seems a really bizarre design decision to me. - Fractional scaling. This is more of an issue with Linux itself. I actually really like the display as a whole, particularly the 3:2 ratio. However, 1x is too small, and I found 2x to be too large. I've been using 150% scaling, which worked well for the most part, except some applications wouldn't obey it (cough Steam). I then tried switching to Wayland, which seems to have fixed Steam's issues (and the trackpad scrolling notably improved oddly), but xwayland programs have really blurry text.. There's always a bit of a tradeoff, although I'm still experimenting with this. I also find this display gives me more eye strain at later hours than other screens I use. YMMV. Overall, I would say I am satisfied with my purchase however. I love the keyboard, love the modularity, I like the customizability. I don't regret the purchase, but I do think there are some things potential buyers should be aware of.
