Due to the limited amount of memory it had at the time, running 2 VMs as well as 30+ tabs in a browser did cause the unit to slow down and throttle from time to time. I think the only thing I didn't test was the fingerprint scanner. I am currently using LinuxMint X1 Yoga. Everything seems to work on it. I have not tested if flipping the screen on the unit will also flip the desktop, as most of the time it sits on a desk pedestal. I can use my finger on the screen to control the mouse, but it does not seem to work with its own stylus. Fingerprint scanner seems to do something, but I don't use it to log into my desktop usually. Hope that helps... ...Ric -- Ric de France Ph: +61412945554 (international) or 0412945554 (Australia)
