(HP and Lenovo def have it and I know it,
Kinda reminds me of Rich Rebuilds with his Tesla
Still, it's nothing compared to my $0 MacBook Pro Retina 13 inch 2015
Or I can rotate it around and use it like Surface but only with BT keyboard
@Mintmaru if you want to change the wifi settings and capabilities just change the wireless chip and I don't know what the bios is like
The one I found was a dell actually
I heard acer don't have bios wifi whitelist so I am taking it home now
Dell 2-in-1?
Mine is 2-in-1
I'm not sure I just checked it over quickly
I couldn't expand ram with existing 4gb stick cause it uses ddr3l
And wifi card screw doesn't fit
At least it doesn't appear to have bios whitelist
That shouldn't be too big of an issue
I have some spare wifi cards if you want one
Yes
Card is not a problem screw is the real prob
Screw that puts wifi card on place
I have a couple screws
Guess what I made wifi working with wifi card from x200ma
So Acer doesn't have bios whitelist confirmed. Yay!
Keyboard feels like crap
And battery life is superior comparing to other laptops
Probably best except my $0 Mac
It might help to get the service manual and see what screw types fit
Also you can get replacement keys online from replacementlaptopkeys.com for about $4 per key, ive used them for when keys broke and the replacements are as close to OE as you can get
Might go without saying but do use linux, ive seen better battery life and performance of course so it definitely will help if you dont mind sacrificing compatibility
It's very random judging by the ones I've harvested recently
Funny enough it's usually the thing people forget to take when they throw away laptops
I actually harvested inspiron screws and it works to hold things in place
The goal is not to sell it, but to make it work for everyday purposes
And keys broken: I use external keyboard most of tumes
Have you found a solution to that mine has the same issue
Which problem?
And I couldn't upgrade ram with existing sticks cause it was ddr3l not ddr3 and it only supports 1.35v RAM
The keyboard not responding im sure it's a hardware issue
Not responding? All times or periodically?
If periodically check cable connection
My touchpad issue was due to cable connection
