The ASUS zenbook primes with 13" 1920x1080 screens sure look nice, but I've seen mixed reviews of Linux compatibility. Does anybody have any experience here?
They seem like serious MacBook Air killers with similar hardware and much, much better screens. But they'd have to run Linux, of course, because they can't be taken seriously if they're crippled with Windows.
- benaiah 14y agoI haven't (yet) tested Linux on mine, but I have to agree with you that it's leagues better than the Air. I actually like Windows (I'm running the 8 RTM from MSDN), though I use Linux as well. I seem to be pretty alone in that position.
- benaiah 14y agoRunning latest Ubuntu (12.04.1, 64-bit) off of a 3.75gb flash drive in the side of my ASUS Zenbook UX31A DB571. It is amazing. Fast, responsive, works almost out of the box. With USB 3.0, there's very little noticeable IO slowdown, even when compared to the SSD I use for Windows. I highly recommend the combination.
