The m7 is a great performer however running an XFCE desktop with crouton comes with some lag that I expect to improve over time with software updates. The use of VirtualBox with this make and model was currently not possible for me to set up however I expect that the kernel rebuild process will improve over the next few years as far as the availability of the use of virtualbox software for the masses on this laptop. This laptop will do everything I need it to do with additional help from custom scripting and code work although from an out of the box perspective there is still no substitute for professional Windows PC based software for me. I purchased the machine to keep up to date with whats next and whats emerging in terms of tech work tools and was more than satisfied with the look feel and performance of the machine. For people that only need Linux and Chrome OS and the ability to run Android applications this laptop would be simply as near perfection as possible. I expect to keep this laptop for a very long time and look forward to the possibility to save money on refurbished models and natural price decreases over time.
