Acer TravelMate P2 TMP215-41-R6Y3 specifications, linux support

Hello!

I'm considering buying an Acer TravelMate P2 (TMP215-41-R6Y3 NX.VRHEU.003), but some details are not clear from the data sheet. Is there somewhere a more detailed specification? I'm particularly interested in the following info:

What is the memory brand / clock speed?
Do the memory slots support dual-channel memory?
Does the SD card reader support SDHC & SDXC?
USB-C: Does it support Power Delivery? Does it support Display Port?

According to the data sheet the notebook comes with some kind of Linux pre-installed. Does it mean that all hardware parts are supported by Linux? Can I expect that it also works well with other distributions (eg. recent ubuntu)?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.

Specs say 2666 memory, but they are populating them with Hynix or Samsung 3200 SO-DIMMs. It does support dual channel. The SD card reader handles both HC and XC cards. The USB-C port handles: USB 3.2 Gen 2 (up to 10 Gbps), DisplayPort over USB-C, USB charging 5 V; 3 A and DC-in port 20 V; 60 W. So both charging devices and charging the laptop, plus DP over USB-C which includes HDMI over USB-C.

Thank you for the answers. Let me ask one last question, is it possible to disable secure boot?

billsey

Yes, though you only typically use that to allow booting from an install image. Once an OS is installed it should have set the boot image as trusted and Secure Boot will then accept it.

Thank you very much @billsey!

I've purchased this laptop, and I could install Linux without trouble, everything works as expected.
FTR there were two minor difficulties:
* Secure boot could be disabled only after a supervisor bios password had been set.
* There is a graphics glitch in the bios: when selecting the boot priority, I can see only a single entry, with scrambled letters. It appeared only after Linux was installed. Since I could still set my preferred boot medium, it does not really matter.
