Wired networking has not been tested. There is only one wireless antenna. ### Bluetooth Detectable by other devices, has not been tested. ### CPU Intel® Core™ i3-4005U CPU @ 1.70GHz × 4 ( 2 physical, 2 logical cores) ### HDMI Out Works out of the box, tested with Nvidia binnary driver (364) and intel on board. ### Input Devices ``` ⎡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)] ⎜ ↳ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)] ⎜ ↳ ETPS/2 Elantech Touchpad id=14 [slave pointer (2)] ⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)] ↳ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Sleep Button id=9 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ Asus WMI hotkeys id=12 [slave keyboard (3)] ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard id=13 [slave keyboard (3)] ``` No touchscreen. Fn + Brightness combination doesn't work. Fn + Volume and media control buttons do work. Fn + Screen On/Off works. Fn + Airplane mode doesn't work. On hibernation touchpad becomes unresponsive. Some say boot some parameters fix it. It didn't in my laptop. ### Graphics One can Install Nvidia binary drivers to use the Nvidia card. Tested with nvidia-367\. Works as intended. One can use the binary driver's PRIME function to use either Nvidia (High drain, high performance, no hardware video (h264) acceleration meaning vdpau is not accesible?

User can't disable Intel HT There is a choice of compatibility mode, it was accessible at first boot. I set it do enabled some time and disabled later. Now it is grayed out(?). User can disable AES-NI User can disable Intel Virtualization. ### Battery Design ~37Wh, Usable ~35Wh ASUS Battery ### Thermal There is a fan that can turn itself off. Sample sensors output while on batter doing light web surfing. ``` acpitz-virtual-0 Adapter: Virtual device temp1: +49.0°C (crit = +103.0°C) temp2: +27.8°C (crit = +105.0°C) temp3: +29.8°C (crit = +105.0°C) coretemp-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter Physical id 0: +50.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 0: +47.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) Core 1: +50.0°C (high = +100.0°C, crit = +100.0°C) asus-isa-0000 Adapter: ISA adapter cpu_fan: 0 RPM temp1: +49.0°C ``` ## Software Information Comes with FreeDos.
