Releases

Linux Mint 21.x

Compatibility

Works fine with some minor problems

Description of the hardware

As of July 2025 the cost was £399 but for 100% compatability replace the mediatek wifi/bluetooth card with an Intel AX210 NGW card which costs about £19 from Amazon. I've been using this everyday for a month and it is 100% perfect. Great little unit and mostly very quiet. NB Comes with WIN 11 Pro but is not locked to Microsoft. Boots to a USB drive out of the box so Win 11 is easily overwritten.

Optional - Notes

Peel back the 4 rubber feet and undo the 4 screws. Slide the black plastic case backwards whilst lifting gently. Look for the small square card with 2 wires. The wires pop off easily. The new card has matching wires - fiddly to get on but they do 'pop' back on.
