[kwlug-disc] Thank you to the people with Linux touchscreen suggestions

[Khalid Baheyeldin]

That is a nice machine for a great price.

You say you have 4GB. Was that upgraded from the 3GB on the site?
Is the battery replaceable or soldered in (i.e. not user replaceable).
Can the hard disk be upgraded to an SSD with more capacity?
And, does it run Linux?
