Wow that looks like an amazing product TBH. If I wouldn't have a new laptop I would try it out.

Yeah, I got it with the (Bluetooth) keyboard stand but without the stylus as I never use one (I've got a collection of about 5 unused styluses from other devices). I'm still in the process of setting it up, but I'm pleased with the performance for web browsing (I got the 32GB ram with 2TB disk model) and the build quality is great. Delivery was surprisingly quick - 5 days after ordering to the UK.

Looks pretty impressive. I couldn't find the weight listed anywhere on the page, how much does it weigh? Light enough to lug around every day?

Just weighed it and the laptop itself is 1.2kg and the optional keyboard/stand is 0.53kg. So, heavier than a similar size single screen laptop, but not excessive.

You may want to talk to who-t or others if you have an interest in touchscreen calibration tools, or possibly try kde under x11: https://who-t.blogspot.com/2024/06/?m=0

Thanks - I'll see if I can find some tips there. Currently, I've got the screens rotated correctly (for me - both landscape) and the bottom screen recognises touches but in the wrong place and orientation. The standard KDE touchscreen and touchpad controls don't recognise that there's any device attached.
I bought it mainly out of curiosity (and I needed a newer laptop) and am now having fun trying to configure Linux on it. Got Ubuntu running well on it, but KDE doesn't seem to have any touchscreen calibration tools, so for the moment, I'm ignoring them and just using a trackball instead.
It came with Windows 11 on it, but I half expected it to have some custom software to use one screen as a touch keyboard, but it was just the standard Microsoft software. I considered dual booting it, but there's really only one or two things that I ever use Windows for (e.g. CheckPoint firewall configuration).
