This form factor looks great, and for $350, it's extremely reasonably priced. However, I'd be much more tempted if they had a version that was that price with better CPU and DRAM specs.
(I don't care if it's ARM or x86 as long as it runs linux well and has ~ 8 hour battery life, which this apparently does, under Linux, at least.)
Oh, and I did have an Acer c720. It was great.
Also, I'm not seeing any obvious form factor dealbreakers. For instance, they centered the trackpad.
Thanks for the writeup!
It's built on a previous generation intel chip, and linux details are "coming soon" though.
I wonder if they'll produce an AMD variant later. I've had extremely bad luck with my last few Intel laptops. I'd expect some Ryzen SOC to work well in that form factor. For instnace, I have a Ryzen 8845HS plugged into my TV, and it's hard to get it above ~ 11 watts unless I'm running recent games on it (idles at 3-5w; TDP 65W).

It's not particularly discoverable. You have to view the whole product catalog. At that point it lets you know you're on the wrong site.
