This is done to prevent selling of stolen phones but due to the bad naming it can be a hassle for legitimate sellers. The website seems not to mention this. At least in the phones I checked.
One big problem was the resolution. I don't exactly remember why, but I had to take the version with a 4k display to get something else I wanted to have. The installed system came with a wide variety of X hacks and customisation to have a reasonable scaling of the GUI. Using another OS was a nightmare as wead upgrading the system. Every chance in X would destroy some kind of customisation leaving you with hours of research until you found some other unhappy customer that has already fixed this issue. Additionally there were problems with the drivers for the multimedia keys on the keyboard and stuff I don't remember. At least the first generation was a nice piece of hardware with a horrible hack of an OS.
Are those kinds of problems now fixed? The author does not mention that there is (was) a big problem with software support from Dell. So I am not sure if I can trust his review.
While I know/assume that it will be easy to remove the DRM, I do not want to install Adobe Digital Editions to download the books.
"@mariaghiondea , do you have any updates on restoring the extension reviews? The PlatformIO IDE extension is important even for Microsoft itself. See Microsoft leverages PlatformIO for its course "IoT for Beginners"
