From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

€300 euro for a device with such low specs seems like a pretty bad deal to me. I just looked online and the first result was a Surface Pro 6 with 8GB RAM and 256 GB of storage for the same price.
The form factor is what makes the device so enticing to me. But maybe going used is the way to go.
Oh, I thought the Go 2 you described was also refurbished because of it’s specs.
I'm quite sure they're new. Out of curiosity: Why do the specs make you think it's refurbished? AFAIK, refurbishes don't change the components. ;)
Because those specs don't sound like something you would get on a recent device. I thought 8 GB RAM and 128 GB storage was the minimum now for Windows devices but I guess I'm wrong.
It's a bit older, but the other comments kind of convinced me that MS just released a severely underpowered piece of hardware as the "budget option".
Kind of untypical for them, especially considering that the surface devices are supposed to compete with ipads and Windows 11 is supposed to run on these things.
