Quite nice at that price point, graphics card isn't amazing but it'll play anything. Just most new games will only be good at medium and low quality. But that isn't something you're too focused on anyways. I am not a big fan of their current chassis line for cooling but that's a nice computer. I don't know anything about the Linux compatibility though. But just so you know, the battery will last like an hour unplugged at best by the looks of it. My friend has the version of that with the AMD Radeon HD 6370M and i7-740 and it lasts 40 mins on average. Again, not something very important to you. But as far as stats go I'd buy it, never found myself needing more than 4 GB memory but it's an easy and not too costly upgrade if you find yourself needing more. But my final note is that as far as laptop processors go, that thing is a beast.
