I'd recommend it. I'm a Linux native, deal with a lot of embedded, and my mind was still thrown for a loop when I got it because it wasn't anything like what I imagined. It ships as a dual booting computer with a dedicated gaming mode - it doesn't corral your behavior into a "correct mode of usage". You can freely program and modify it. The haptics are great, it's not as big or unwieldy as people made it out to be, and it's full of "nice touches", if you dig into it. I laughed when I realized I'd been toting it around with me like I did with my GameBoy as a kid, because I haven't even "gamed" since Dark Sous was big, yet I've been finding myself constantly thinking about things to do with it. And if you love it, you can always upgrade the storage.
