This is what I did:I replaced the 7mm thick 500GB HDD and replaced it with a 120GB Intel 525 series SSD. (one of the new ones with fast the read and write, and low idle power, $79) . Powered up pressing the the Esc key to enter the INCYDE UEFI boot loader options. In the Secure Boot Options page select (or verify that) Enforce Secure Boot is (for Linux), press F10 to save. Rebooted with a Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaela 64-bit USB3 live memory stick pluged in. Then in the Mint installation setup format the SSD drive to the following partitions:10 MB (legacy) BIOS Boot (leave the partition unformatted)120MB FAT23 EFI system (active boot flag)116GB EXT4 Linux File Systemand a 4GB Swap partition.If the relatively small 2GB RAM runs out then the laptop will presumably start using the the SSD swap space and wont crash, I think the SSD is 5 to 8 times faster than the HDD) .After the Linux Mint installation is completed, remove the Linux installation usb, and reboot with a YannUbuntu boot-repair-disk live USB memory stick plunged in, select the default Boot-Repair options, remove the usb memory sick. Finally, reboot to a working Linux Mint. Every thing looks fine, the screen is sharp and vibrant.For a 2 processor machine this laptop seems very responsive. The only Mint installation glitch that I have discovered so far is the LCD screen brightness applet did not work out of the box. From a Google search, in the Linux Mint forums the solution by Pedrinho at http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=103310 resolved the issue nicely and now the LCD applet works fine. The battery life, with a sensible screen brightness choice and surfing ( not video streaming) is probably about 6 hours. I have tried to stress test the apparently limited RAM space by simultaneously opening 10 instances each of: Lible Office Writer, full LCD screen capture, and Fire fox without any problem at all. On start up The Fedora 21 installation intakes up about 456 MB or 24.3%, the mint installation takes up 292 MB or 16% of RAMIn summary:Cons:- RAM space not upgradeableThe Plus:- Q3'14 release date Intel processor- Beautiful 'razor' style case, and 1366x768 14 inch diagonal colour LCD- Runs the Latest Linux with no proprietary drivers required. I am very happy with this machine, the price / performance is good I give it a 5 star rating.There do not seem to be comparable Mint machines out there, but if there were, looking at comps, Id bet the price would be about $260 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.lk/products/16077405-meson-linux-14-ultrabook](https://www.desertcart.lk/products/16077405-meson-linux-14-ultrabook) --- *Product available on Desertcart Sri Lanka* *Store origin: LK* *Last updated: 2026-06-26*
