New Entroware Aether Laptop for Linux Powered with Ubuntu

Linux-specific hardware especially laptops have been seeing a rapid growth in the PC industry as of late. It is no secret that well-established manufacturers like Dell amongst others have been stepping up and slapping Ubuntu on models of their desktops and laptops as an optional operating system for their power users.

While we have other PC manufacturers like System76 on the forefront of this space, (with all their available models running Linux exclusively) it is always nice to have new players in the game.

Entroware Aether (which is a mouthful, by the way) is a new OEM in the Linux hardware industry ready to knock our socks off with its Kaby Lake powered 15-inch laptop with specs that scream awesome.

The aforementioned hardware is an overall premium package that comes in three CPU configurations and two display options. Specs are as listed:
