   I have it for maybe half a year.   
   I like it very much and I use it daily.   
   With 6 cores (2 big + 4 little) and 4 GB of RAM it is enough for my day to day   
   use. (1 million Firefox tabs and 2-3 terminals with SSH to Linux Servers)   
      
   There are many supported OSes.   
   I use the default Manjaro (??), and it has some issues with the WiFi sometimes   
   it looses connection, and you have to reconnect.   
      
   I tried the Chromebook image, and it did not have that issue there, but I did   
   not like that image. (you can boot from SD card to try out new images without   
   flashing the eMMC)   
      
   Apart from the WiFi issue I have no issues.   
   It is no powerhouse with but it is enough for 99% of what I do.   
   And it is much lighter and the battery life is much longer than my regular   
   laptop.
