differences in the entry: Description
Kernel 3.1 and higher should work, but you might be able to support older versions (untested).
3D acceleration can be enabled but this is not a gaming laptop by any stretch of the imagination.
Not yet tested with Libreboot.
Great cheap laptop, small, 11 inches. Keyboard is cheap. cheap and noisy. May not survive a fall. Easy to repair, and replace parts, upgradeable SSD (recommend 256 GB).
