Debian with KDE on an eRacks/ZENBOOK13
This is a clip of the OOB (Out-Of-Box experience) of an eRacks Ultrabook with Debian on it.
This video show the sleek aluminum finish and Full HD display, as well as the Debian splash screen and desktop.
If we have time before it ships, we will do a quick teardown video of the internals, showing the upgradeable parts such as disks/modules/SSDs, mini PCI cards, and memory, etc.
This Zenbook model is so new, we had to install special WiFi drivers and we are prepping a newer kernel for the touchpad- at the moment, everything works, except two-finger scrolling.
