Hey guys,
Just thought I'd share my experience of Linux support on the 14" Fusion T as overall has been rather pleasant.
Distro of choice - Ubuntu 13.10, but I'm sure that it works on other distros too.
Installation:
Went off without a hitch. Installed via USB and it went very quickly indeed, and I was up and running less than 30 minutes after coming home and finding the delivery.
What worked out the box:
What didn't work:
Fixes I've found:
Running
and then running the software, then ticking the "Auto mute mode" box allows the headphones to mute the speakers when they're in. This persists from boot to boot but might be reset when Ubuntu updates, but I don't have a fix for the HDMI issue as of yet.
Overall:
Well worth it; the HD screen is amazing and makes this a very nice little development machine. Beautiful to type on too.
Hope this helps for anyone looking for a PCSPECIALIST laptop with Linux support.

What worked out the box:
- Wireless (A blessing during installation)
- Graphics (Full HD)
- Touchscreen
- Bluetooth
- Mouse pad gestures (two finger scrolling etc.)
- HDMI out (visual only)
- Webcam
What didn't work:
- Sound - sound did work out both the speakers and headphones, but putting in the headphones did not mute the speakers
- HDMI Sound - connecting to a HDMI television/monitor produces no sound, and the option to select the HDMI as the sound output does not exist in the Sound Settings
Fixes I've found:
Running
Code:
sudo apt-get install gnome-alsamixer
