gollark: Weird. In my experience SSH either just doesn't work at all because I broke it somehow, denies me access for some reason, or works fine.
gollark: And the hinge rotates 180 degrees, but the panel is a 1366x768 TN one with awful viewing angles.
gollark: The designers of this made some very strange design choices, I must say. It came with soldered RAM, but also a SODIMM slot.
gollark: My laptop's a cheap refurbished business-y one which I upgraded with a SSD and more RAM, and it works *okay*.
gollark: And you can install Linux on it without (as much) hassle.
