Yup... it is awesome. My friend fixed it after I broke it. First time he got Windows to work with all the drivers. He found out that he needed drivers from some other notebook, which made the missing devices that were not working visible. And then made some adjustments and had Windows working.
Then I persuaded him to install Linux for me. And again, he did it!
Installing Ubuntu was relatively straightforward for me, but then it refused to boot. It was harder for him for some reason, as he got stuck in the middle of the installation. I discovered that it was running out of RAM and decided to do the installation on another PC and then copy it to the internal eMMC and run the setup from there. And it worked. It went through the installation process and got to the same point as me.
Then the magic began. The trick is that the machine has a 64bit processor but only a 32bit BIOS. So the trick is to chroot into the installed OS from Live OS and do some magic with implanting 32bit GRUB to 64bit Ubuntu. I do not really understand the details and how to get there, but he did it and it works!
Another interesting part is that he also tried Debian, which still has a 32bit version, so it booted without any adjustments, but it also lacks accelerometer and touch drivers. However, the Ubuntu worked right out of the box, so... myth busted. Ubuntu is not just another Debian.
So now I have a working tablet/notebook and I really like it. Of course it is slow as it only has some Atom and only 2GB RAM, but for playing chess, surfing the internet and doing some hotfixes on my servers via SSH it is enough. I really like the concept of the machine. As I do not like tablets in general, this one with a computer OS and a detachable keyboard is really ingenious.
