when it's to be used with debian, this one is currently only for the
brave ;-)
I own such a device, currently internal wifi works well enough with a
third party driver. If you care about bluetooth, you're so far totally
out of luck. Sound does not work yet either. Suspend / Hibernate does not
work. Occasionally the screen freezes, forcing the user to do a hard
reset. Plus the 32-bit Efi troubles to make the install media boot.
Considering the price I think the device would not be bad, if they would
be able to fix these issues. From what I have been reading, it seems like
people from Intel are working on linux fixes for this and similar
devices, but even if things go well some patience is required.
