“Best Feature:Very Slim and compact. Excellent 2 in 1 machine The device and accessories are well packed and in excellent condition. Seller even sent me a video before shipping it without me asking for it and seller packed it right away very fast, a rarity these days with Shopee sellers. I decided to install Fedora Linux since some of the software I need to use for work seems slow with Windows 10 l”
