This is a descent low end laptop.  Of course it is not a powerhouse gaming or video editing platform.  Still it fits a light weight easy to handle laptop niche.  You can think of this unit as Netbook/NetTop.This was bought to surf the Internet, watch some Youtube, and type up some documents from time-to-time.  These tasks are handled well by this Asus model.  I would not use this unit as a primary platform and again it isn't for serious gaming or video production.In my case I installed Ubuntu MATE 18.04 LTS and everything worked with zero manual configuration.  The system was paired with an external dongle for a RJ45 connection and added port capacity.
