Follow ZDNET:Add us as a preferred source, unboxing, and setting it up, I hit the power and watched as Kubuntu loaded. In seconds, I was greeted with the onboarding wizard. In stark contrast to any Windows PC I’ve reviewed, it took me less than two minutes to have the NX Gen3 up and running.

My experience

Reviewing a Linux-powered laptop or PC is always a breath of fresh air to me, because I know the OS very well (so I know exactly what to expect) and it’s almost always a positive experience from start to finish.

The NX Gen3 was no exception.

The model I received housed an Intel Ultra 7 255H, Arc T140 8 Xe CPU/GPU, with 32 GB of RAM and Mesa Intel graphics, which runs around $1,230. You can spec a system up to 96 GB of RAM, a 4TB drive, which bumps the price up to $2,075.

is not just an outstanding place to start, but a great place to stay. This small-footprint computer seriously impressed me. It’s powerful, silent, easy to setup, and a treat to use.

If you’re looking at the end of life for your Windows 10 PC, and in the market for something better than what’s on the shelves of the big box stores, head over to the official Kubuntu Focus site and purchase an NX Gen3 PC. You won’t regret it.
