What the others have said, but also again:
You would need to be comfortable enough with Linux to ditch the default installation of Manjaro, install an os to an sd card/the eMMC, & it helps to know how to troubleshoot hardware/driver issues from terminal & understand how boot loaders & partitions work.
Setup is the hardest & most time consuming part & it is not a task for someone new to Linux. If you understand the hardware you are purchasing, it is very satisfying to have it working well.
With that said, once configured it is a very suitable, low power & lightweight device for basic tasks; I use mine every weekday at work without problems, but I’ve also been using Linux for 20+ years.
It is not a device for everyone/the casual user, but I’m really happy with my PBP & PP.
