Re: Linux on a Laptop shipped with Windows 11 in S-mode

[Hans <hans.ullrich@loop.de>]

Following the discussion here, iI would like to ask something.

I discovered some small laptops (10 inch and 7 inch), with an Intel N100 
processor,  up to 16 GB RAM and ump to 1 TB disk. But shipped with windows.

2 questions: 

1. Does one have any experience, if the N100 cpu is usable for fluently work? 
These processors are also built in small mini computers.

2., Can debian installed on these laptops or are theire BIOSes mostly dongled 
like on Microsoft Surface tablets and have to be cracked?

If one is interested, what I mean ( I do not want to make an advertisement, so 
I avoid a link), then you can go to www.aliexpress.com and searcfh for 

"8 Zoll 12. Generation P8 N100 Mini-Gaming-Laptop Intel Alder Lake N100 
Touchscreen 12G DDR5 Windows 11 Notebook Yoga Tablet PC 2 in 1"

and there are a lot of sellers.

I intend to use it especially for the daily work, like network analysis, data 
rescue, office and much more. 

It shall run debian, kali-linux, maybe athena-os and (as it is already 
installed) Windows_11. Most important is ruinning debian and kali.

However, the question is: Will the N100 be fast enough for fluently working 
with it? (My comparision is a Fujitsu Lifebook with 8GB and an I5 cpu).

Thanks for any feedback (can be short!)

Best
