Thank you, Nate! For the quick response and the tons of info you've shared here.

I live with Ubuntu daily on my laptop and desktop machines so the command line isn't an issue. I wouldn't get this unit for my 65 year old, semi-technical father (email is still a bit confusing sometimes) but looking at dot files and modifying conf files doesn't really worry me.

I'm still interested in what everyone thinks of the physical side of the Q7. Is it comfortable in the hands for extended reading times? And how is the responsiveness of the touch screen?

I think it's a done deal anyway, but over-research is my middle name (it is hyphenated)!

Thanks again!
