I try out lots of distributions on it in the course of my activities with SF-LUG and seldom have problems. Your computer has practically the same hardware as mine as far as I can tell from online specs. My cpu is an A-10. yours is an A-8 I have the same Radeon GPU. I had more room on my hard disk that yours and most of it was the Damned Microsoft program launcher. I started with reducing the partition devoted to Windows from over 600 GiB to less than 60 GiB, had Mageia 4.1 installed using about 130 GiB with separate partitions then installed 5.0 alongside it with essentially the same layout. Oh and I added a partition which I called X for the transfer of data, et al, between Windows and LInux. I labeled my Linux partitions as M4.1 and M5 so that I knew where I was going to put stuff using the GParted live distribution. Waiting for the announcement of the Mageia 6 beta versions later this year. Will only have to change 4.1 to 6 bliss
