    Expecting my Lapbook to arrive some time tomorrow and this is exactly the kind of information I was hoping to come across.

    Thanks a million!

    Thanks for the info! Have upgraded bios and tried booting Ubuntu 16.04.2 from a USB-key. Everything seems to work fine. 🙂

    But I’m a bit unsure now since some say you need kernel 4.10, does anyone know why you would need the never kernel?

    Well, I got my m.2 ssd and installed Ubuntu 16.04 two days ago and everything seems ok, haven’t tested hdmi out, but the other stuff seems to work (kernel 4.8.0). Seem like a great low cost notebook for linux.

    EDIT: tested camera and micro sd card as well, seems ok.

    I could not get hdmi output working correctly using archlinux. I am not sure if it is Linux specific, or if there is a problem with my hdmi out. Can anyone confirm (linux or windows) if their hdmi is working?

    If you are having problems installing to the eMMC drive be sure to scroll down to the bottom of the comments section on that CNXSoft page…

    Yes I did, it’s what prompted me to make the post because in my experience everything works fine on Ubuntu 16.04 (which is the currently recommended version) and I had no problem installing to the SSD. (I did the bios upgrade Carlos mentioned first though.) I have been using it daily since March now.

    I haven’t tried HDMI-out though since I don’t have the right cable for that.

    If you are new to Linux then Linux Mint is a great default distribution choice. fnaf

    HDMI 2.0 is par for the course for most users and usage scenarios. But if you need all the advanced and best features and the highest bandwidth HDMI offers, look for an HDMI 2.1 port on your TV.   Vampire Survivors
