Good laptop with metal keyboard surface and good overall build quality, but low-resolution display. The display has a HD resolution. The laptop is powerful enough to run any modern operating system. I've upgraded hard drive from WDC WD5000BPVT-24HXZT3 to GIGABYTE GP-GSTFS31120GNTD SSD and added 4GB more RAM.
The wireless whitelist in BIOS doesn't allow me to replace the Wi-Fi card to a better one. It's BCM4313 requiring a lot of work to configure it in Linux. You need to update kernel and install broadcom-wl driver using low-speed Internet connection provided by a free default bcma driver. The graphics is switchable hybrid Intel+Radeon. You can disable Radeon card in BIOS.
Devices on the board are the following:
