A:AnswerYou will be able to run Ubuntu or Linux on this unit if you have the knowledge necessary. Not sure about them preloading however with research you will be able to figure it out. Have a good USB drive ready with loads of room or an external harddrive.
A:AnswerYes and No. No, it doesn't have a built-in CD/DVD drive. Yes, I can play CDs and DVDs on either of our laptops because as I was walking to the checkout with the first one, I picked up an external CD/DVD Drive with a USB3 connector cord for $29.99. The laptops have three USB ports, one HDMI and even an SD card slot. If You're interested: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-8x-external-usb-double-layer-dvdrw-cd-rw-drive-black/5852919.p?skuId=5852919
A:AnswerIt is a very reliable and amazing computer. The only downside I have seen so far is the battery life. It has a good battery life but not the greatest.
A:AnswerThese laptops DON'T Have a hard drive. They use SSD memory -- like what is in "thumb" drives and SD memory cards. You can buy a 256GB micro-SD card for $49.99 and insert its adaptor in the SD card slot and double the memory to 512 Gigabytes. If that's not enough, you can get external hard drives that plug into a USB port (3 available) and go way up into Terabytes-storage. I've put five hard-drive backups on a half-Terabyte external drive with space left over.

A:AnswerYou can use Microsoft 365 which includes Access with this laptop. If you just want Microsoft Access, I would recommend switching out of the S Mode. Here are instructions on how to get out of S Mode: https://bit.ly/3laywG1
A:AnswerThis one does not have a slot for cds/dvds but you can purchase a player that fits into your laptop, I already had one from a different laptop, it works wonderfully, and they are inexpensive.
