It ran right out of the box, no drivers needed, then updated itself in 30 seconds. The laptop achieved >80mbps UPLINK speed in testing, that will work with a webcam.
AND a two year warranty right out of the box. I have two more pieces on my wishlist list, but it's actually a next to buy list. Yes. You want it. :)
I threw out the failed one, that was my fault, but after having the 2nd one work and not work, I don't trust them now. I contacted support and they said if it works after it was flaky, then it's fine. Just posting my experience for others. The cabling was tested and worked fine for a desktop 100%, mine failed no matter which USB port I used, and then was fine later, but I can't trust it for production networks.
