I had installing linux on my Lenovo Ideapad 100S laptop (no surprise,
since it's more or less the same hardware put inside a laptop case).
Looking back, the only serious issue for the install was the 32 Bit UEFI
problem which could be easily avoided if one finds a 32 Bit installer iso
with EFI support (the pre-installed windows was 32 bit, too).
I think the biggest problem with these devices is the limited hardware
support in the linux kernel, though things seem to be improving slowly
but steadily.
