Yeah, I have it. Linux works great, except the function key layer and stereo sound on the built-in speakers due to the unusual audio chipset.

Performance is fantastic, the keyboard is passable, the screen looks beautiful, and build quality seems on par with my 2010 MacBook pro, and definitely better than my Lenovo Thinkpad.

Apple have to consider themselves lucky Huawei isn't having an easy time in the US. In my opinion they are better than Apple in design and hardware. I wonder how much lobbying Apple does against Huawei in the mobile market.
