Archived system - eRacks/ZENBOOK15

This is the largest (and the high-end) Ultrabook from Asus - the Zenbook line, in various models, and, 13.3", and 15.6" sizes. (The 11.6" has been discontinued as of this writing, Sep 2015).

This "Ultrabook" is not just about the incredible beauty of the spun metal and hairline aluminum; it has the ASUS exclusive Super Hybrid Engine II with instant on 2-second resume, four to five times the standby time, and 25% longer battery life.

Add eRacks' custom install of Linux and you've got a winning combination.

Your system can be installed with the rEFInd boot manager on request.

Here's a review (of the Windows version):

The mid-sized 13.3" is our CTO's favorite, see his blog post!
