If you choose Linux Mint, the drivers will be included in it. I intend buying this laptop during Black Friday, and will make a recovery usb of the Windows 10, then I'll install Linux mint instead. I'll then have a really nice machine, with long battery life and without all the drag of Windows. I also expect it to run faster with a lighter operating system. Of course, you will have to come to Linux Mint for support, unless you have a Linux Mint friend. TIP: Also, you will have to navigate through Windows 10 to configure the UEFI to accept your Linux usb. You'll need to find and turn off 'Fast start/boot' and also 'Secure Boot'. You want to keep it UEFI and not LEGACY, if at all possible, while installing Linux. (Once I get Linux Mint successfully installed, I probably won't ever put Windows back on the machine.)
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You can install Linux on the computer, it is not supported by us and so that means no drivers.
