Having been somebody who bought an Acer Aspire One linux installed computer
from pcworld, the kernal installed was Linux Lite, and the guy told me, they
had had almost all the linux laptops returned, biggest reasons, couldnt get
it to connect to the internet, no support from ISPs, cant update/use apple
products, same with Android product.....which is why stopped selling them.
Acer Aspire also refused to support anybody who installed any other kernel
during the warranty period.......
Nowadays, people will be reluctant to use a computer they cant use their
apple products with.....
It's an operating system, not a kernel.
Also, I think you mean "Linpus Lite", not "Linux Lite".

Android support is a red herring - Android syncs to the cloud by
default. Connect an Android phone to a Linux machine and you can
transfer files, music, pictures etc. no problem, or at least I could
on my HTC Desire HD.
As well as that I hear support for Silverlight is being dropped in
Linux, which I dont understand, as a lot of people are streaming films
and things now on their computers. I know Love Film only works if you
have Silverlight, and wont work in Ubuntu, I havent tried Netflix.....if
both those dont work, then that is another thing that goes against
having an Ubuntu only laptop.....
