You can put whatever you like on it, but you may need a SD card 
for extra storage.  And you may want to install a different OS, 
which will improve software selection but perhaps make some of 
the hardware harder to support (multitouch on the touchpad, for 
example, may not work by default).

I'll probably get one and put Ubuntu on it, eventually.

That's my main reason for waiting.  I want the 92% keyboard or 
95% or whatever it is.  I've often thought that my 3lb notebook 
was about 10% too big, and a 92% model would be just about 
right...  especially if the screen could flip around for tablet 
use.
