Asus Zenbook UX32LN (with a GNU/Linux system based on NixPkgs), RAM upgraded to 12GiB from 8 GiB just in case

Pros: · works nicely with Linux whatever kernel build is used, · UEFI is optional and it can be manually configured without hassle · acceptable battery life under light load (~5 hours) but dual-core i7 can perform reasonably well if the power draw is not a concern, · a nice FullHD screen with fine brightness adjustment (I prefer my screen to have the same brightness as a sheet of paper next to it — this is darker than many screens' minimal settings)

Cons: · after third time warranty-replacing HDD I gave up and bought a similar one from a different manufacturer · slightly too small at 13.3 inch — a larger screen plus larger battery plus larger keyboard would be nice…

I recently put it on the edge of a bed in a wrong way and it fell onto a plugged USB extension cable — the cable apparently suffered more than the notebook, which is nice.
