A great product! Bought it as a Macbook Air killer and that's just what it is! Trackpoint and Touchpad work perfectly under Ubuntu 13.04. Sound and mute buttons work as well and a small hack makes the mute microphone button work as well. No drivers necessary for Bluetooth and wifi.

Laptop is very light and battery lasts 3 hours easily under intensive use.

The keyboard is a typist's dream! The surface of the computer is very nice to touch and it looks stunning.

SSD is a great bonus, Ubuntu boots in under 15 s.

Display width is perfect. Can fit two frames of 80 character text on each side. However, height could be more, 900 px is not enough. On the other hand, resolution is ideal for movies. The picture on the display is also really good and sharp.

The "always on" USB port is very handy for charging a phone and the laptop together from the same outlet.

Drawbacks:

Fn key is in where Ctrl should be, but as an Emacs user, my Ctrl is Caps Lock anyway :-).

Bottom panel gets quite warm.
