HI,
I bought one today, I took the Android version.(Much cheaper, 100€ l
ess)Few observations first: -No regular size USB, it's micro USB
(OTG or HOST capable) -No regular BIOS/EFI menu just android
boot menuFor now I need to investigate, I have no experience with
Android on x86 and changing OS on such devices.Any hints here are
welcome.

Ah. Yeah, that makes all of it a bit more dicey. And I hadn't
realized
it was Android. I was looking at the laptops, not the "book".

Uhm, dunno about that. I'd suspect it's a 64-bit UEFI BIOS, but
Lenovo
often has their own ideas about what's needed. The machine comes with
Android Marshmallow (6) and I'm not sure what requirements that has
as far as UEFI is concerned.

I guess there's a possibility of using a USB keyboard if you have
issues. That being said, if this is going to be your primary machine
and
you're on a budget, you may not want to be the David on this. If you
can afford it and have the time, I'm sure the community would LOVE to
have someone sort this out. I'd be interested (oh, gawd, just what I
need...another bloody computer!)
