I've owned one for about a year and a half.  In the time since then, they've
released three sets of motherboard upgrades (from the 11th-gen Intel CPUs
they started with to your choice of AMD or (13th-gen) Intel today), tweaked
the back of the screen for more rigidity, and brought out a larger model
that can accommodate a pluggable GPU.  It's not a lengthy record, but it's
more than other, larger companies have managed.

...and as an aside, it all works pretty well with Linux.  Mine spends
probably 98%+ of its time in Gentoo Linux.
