Six months later.

I've using a Machenike L16air with Linux Mint for over 6 months now, and it has been a great experience so far. Even though the laptop came with originally came with Windows 11, installing Linux Mint was easy and everything just works.

The upgrade to Linux Mint 22.1 Xia happened without any problems when the time came, and the improvements the Linux Mint made to the new release are quite good. The Machenike keyboards K500 Pro-B94 and K500, that I use on regular basis, also work out of the box with Linux Mint. So much so, that I'm now a fan of mechanical keyboards for when I'm at home or the office.

Not only that, it has made me a Machenike fan, and I wish they would offer their laptops with Linux Mint preinstalled for those who prefer it over Windows. Not only that, that they offered the software for their keyboards for Linux too.

Machenike has proven to be quite a great value for money. So much so, that I'm considering one of Machenike's monitors for when the time comes to upgrade or change the one I got now. The same goes the for the mouse.

As someone who prefers laptops over PCs, Machenike has given me a great option over brands like HP, Dell, or Lenovo, for laptops that fit great for my personal needs. While Machenike might not come with the latest tech, it does offer options are that are better than good enough for everyday use.

The Machenike L16air also gave me the chance to use an AMD CPU, and RADEON GPU, for the first time. And so far, AMD had become a real option for my needs.

So far, Machenike has surpassed my expectations, and remained me why I do prefer laptops over PCs. Not only that, it also proven the Linux Mint is a solid option, that just works with a wide variety of hardware. And what is better, it does in a user friendly way.
