What is the Above Book?
The Above Book is robust and reliable laptop hardware running a cutting edge Linux operating system.
These machines have been tested thoroughly, have had RAM & SSD upgrades, and have been updated with microcode, firmware, and security updates.
The Above Book runs an Arch Linux based operating system.
What's Arch Linux? Arch Linux is general-purpose distribution of Linux that's beautifully simple and powerful. Arch Linux can be custom-tailored whichever way the user wants, it can be as simple as terminal, or a full fledged operating system like the one you have now.
Not only does the Above Book have all the basic functions and features of a laptop but makes Arch Linux more approachable with GUI programs to run, and simplified interactions to do things like upgrade the system, install packages, and toggle the VPN.
