It's a very nice, small laptop. Ubuntu feels very snappy on it.
When compared to a MacBook Pro, though, it falls short: webcam is worse, touchpad is worse, fans are louder, battery life is shorter, and the screen is not as good (only 1080p).
But I really enjoyed using it. Every bit of hardware -- Bluetooth, suspend, wifi -- works out-of-the-box.
I just don't use it that much to justify having it in my room -- unused.
That's why I'm selling it, because it's a fun little machine that runs Linux and I know a lot of other folks might get a kick out of it.
I ordered it in July 2022 (received it in January 2023) and paid €1528 for it.
I'm willing to sell it for €1000, plus shipping.
If you're interested, please send me an email to me@thorstenball.com.
For ease of shipping, I'm only selling it to folks in the EU.
