Customer Review

The laptop is in my view the right person and I got him under Debian after not too much experimentation and running. However, I also> 20 years Unix experience ..

The provided Linux boots to command surface. A shell, nothing more.

=> Laptop: Five stars
=> Operating system provided: Zero stars

Update:

Having trouble writing of SD cards under Linux (with dd on the raw device) I wanted to make a BIOS update, as it seems with the BIOS related data.

BIOS updates are only possible with Windows, according to Acer Support. An overview of the changes of each version does not exist.

Linux is * not * supported (not!), They deliver only a rudimentary Linux, as one might regimes across the EU the laptop does not sell, according to OEM else ...

Therefore, there is a star less, sorry. Still a good laptop, but Acer has to decide whether or not Linux.
