I bought one, had trouble registering SLED, then eventually managed to
only for it to loose the wireless after doing an update. Replaced with
Ubuntu and it all worked perfectly, including my USB 3G device. The
screen and keyboard are excellent, but it does run hot and the battery
life is poor (<2 hours). For £200, it is still a great buy.
