no

Thank you sir for such a precise answer...

You mean that the asus as no challengers ?

bump ! interested

there is the asus e200ha, right ?

yeah but the e200ha might have the same issue with Linux than the x205ta

what's the problem with this one?

it barely handles Linux/GNU, for example the sound isn't working (due to the UEFI boot i think)

just get a thinkpad
you can get one with a core i5 for the same price as this laptop on ebay, and it will fully support linux

You asking a question or making a statement?

It was a question.

I already have a x220 (ubuntu) but i want something lighter

the sound ?

yes, it seems that the sound isn't working at all

I bought it for using linux based system on it.
But yea i tried various distros but no success
1 wasted one day on arch, after a reboot the wifi never worked again,
ubuntu - slow, bloat, maybe ill try with xubuntu
gentoo - from the live cd which they provide, the input stuff and the internal mmc card wasnt working, but no luck
lfs - kernel wont boot (i dont know exactly what was the problem with the compiled kernel)
chromiumos- cannot fix the touchpad
solus- wont boot some kernel modules missing
etcetc

if you waste a lot of time on it you can fix everything, execpt the sound

but also a nice guide for arch

which distros ?

that's it, that is why I'm looking for another laptop with the avantages of the x205ta

at the end you're looking for a cheap macbook air ?

well... yes...

Currently im trying to sell my x205ta and buy a xiaomi air maybe, it the closest one to a macbook.

may I ask why you get ride of your x205ta ?

xiaomi air ? that sounds like a laptop based chinese shit to me

does it handle Linux/GNU ?

well idk

saw a thread here that said it wouldnt even allow another boot
chinese winshit version 10 is locked on

fuccccckkkk

it seemed too good to be true

bump

another answer ?

Thinkpad 13

A bit too expensive I think.

The problem is the 32-bit BIOS, find one with a 64-bit BIOS and you are set.

Got the e200ha. ITS Bretty good for w10. It seems to have the same problems. How realistic is it that it will get fixed?

It appear it is. The e200ha has a 64bit but has the same sound/touchpad problem

there is x205ta with 64 bits ???

so the issue didn't come from the 32-bits BIOS, fuck

Secure boot is pwned now though so it doesn't matter

False. You can just boot from USB like normal.

that's cool

>asus
you're a retard

>can it handle Linux?
holy shit, you're autistic

>laptop that thin being able to process anything substantial
You're beyond saving, user.

So no alternative for the asus x205ta for the same price ?

So because we're all autistic and retarded, you may let your higher smartness shine upon us and answer the question without trolling.

Regardless, your mom
