I'm really pleased with my AC100; nice keyboard, nice screen, excellent
battery life, and suspend actually works --- I just tried suspend-to-RAM
overnight and it lost 3% battery. Plus I got it really cheap off ebay.

There's a preinstalled Ubuntu image that works reasonably well, but
Unity's a bit slow and it's armel, so it's not really doing the
dual-core Tegra processor justice. However, Ubuntu's the best option if
you want something that Just Works right now:

I'm running Debian armhf and it requires some hackery to make work.
