Huawei MateBook X Pro Review by Laptop Magazine

-

Chinese tech giant Huawei is not known for making laptops, but its 14-inch MateBook X Pro (tested at $1,499; starting at $1,199) could change all that. Not only does it pack a gorgeous, high-res display and speedy performance, its battery lasts all day. And while its name and design beg for comparisons to Apple's MacBook Pro, the MateBook X Pro's keyboard is far more comfortable. At launch, the only things standing between you and its glory were its high price and severely limited availability, and those problems are (mostly) worries of the past. All things considered, the MateBook X Pro is worthy of its place on our Best College Laptops and Best Touch Screen Laptops pages.

Laptop Magazine gave this laptop Editor's Choice mark

The Pros
Fast performance; Exquisite screen; Comfortable keyboard; Long battery life; Both USB Type-C and Type-A ports

The Cons
Limited availability

Verdict
The Huawei MateBook X Pro is a speedy, long-lasting premium notebook.

You probably did not know , but many Chromebooks can be easily converted to run full Linux or even Windows OS.

Especially those where  hard drive can be upgraded. Chrome OS does not occupy much space and most of the Chromebooks come with 32/16 GB SSD hard drive storage. 32 GB is enough for modern Linux desktop distribution, though you will need some external storage solution like  SD card for your files.

A couple of years ago i was choosing Chromebook for myself and i specifically chose Acer Chromebook C910. This Chromebook was kind of unique in 2015 when it debuted. High end model of this laptop was equipped with gorgeous 15.6" IPS screen with 178º view, 4GB of RAM  and 32GB SSD hard drive which you could easily upgrade.

I upgraded it to 256GB SSD and Installed full Debian Linux distro on it using this brilliant and very detailed tutorial. This tutorial was written specifically for Chromebook Acer C910 model. This method is safe in terms that you can always go back to Chrome OS.…
