It may take a lot of tweaking to get it to work.  It looks far from being a standard notebook/netbook and is probably running its own special version of Win7.

They say there "Full Windows 7 experience" so I think it's not some special Win edition.
So if Win 7 runs on it why wouldn't PCLOS?

True, I didn't think of that, just that linux was run on earlier models of it (single screen).

i don't think linux will work on it, maybe a special android version but without keyboard two screens(both touch screens?) the battery life should be very low
