Why so few reviews? Well, we've been an independent Linux shop customizing and shipping Linux laptops that just work out-of-the-box to our valued customers since 2007. While we've sent out more than 5,000 machines all over the world, we have only recently started asking customers for product reviews, so our review count is new and still growing. Every review here is from a real, verified buyer and we'd love for you to be our next one. Oh, and after we ship you your dream machine, please leave one too. 😘
