I've got a new laptop (Acer Swift 3 SF314-52) and it's awesome! That 14" IPS screen looks awesome. (btw I use Arch)

    @Haxk20 Mine didn't have Windows on there, it had Endless OS. Ended up downloading Arch and burning it to a USB drive using dd. Then, disabled the Secure Boot and installed Arch Linux. Boots in about 10 seconds with EFISTUB kernel. Sadly I didn't get a chance to update BIOS since it didn't have Windows on it, but one may succeed with launching the BIOS update file in FreeDOS since it's a MZ executable. It's very snappy and super fast. Watching YT on there is a pleasure. Also, Skyrim bugged out in Wine :D

    @siguso nah, 14" variant with Core i5 Kaby Lake, 8 GBs of RAM, UHD Graphics 620, 256 GB SSD from Intel (not Optane, Intel SSD 600p Series (?)), Intel 802.11ac + Bluetooth, and an EgisTech fingerprint sensor (doesn't work in Linux)

    @Floydian nah, that picture was taken in my sleeping room (where I sleep). It has an ironing board so my parents go here to iron the clothes. My other room is my grandma's sleeping room. There I do my homework.

    @maushax portability is one of the reasons I wanted this laptop. The second was it's performance.
