this is becoming an insanely good deal. it was a good deal at 399, better at 349. and now 299? it's one of those slickdeals i'm tempted to buy even though i dont need it!
I am sure if you wait even more till 2021 or better 2022 BF, there will be even better electronics. 😛
Review for the laptop [notebookcheck.net]

Seems to be 2 M.2 slots and 1 DDR4.

Been using this for the last day, overall impressions are extremely positive given the price....except the speakers...they are almost useless and barely audible...bad even considering the price and my low expectations. You can turn of the THX settings, that helps a little but overall very hard to hear.

So I just got the laptop and noticed that the copy of windows that's installed isn't activated... Tried emailing their customer service using the address that's in the booklet and just got an auto response saying it does not exist...

Anybody else having this problem?
This happened to me as well. I just clicked the link to troubleshoot activation and it activated it for me.

Check the links in the wiki, I flashed both BIOS and EC following the steps.

Yeah, coz you have to activate it yourself. Click the notification and follow the instructions.

So far so good. Seems solid, well built, fast, definitely a solid deal for $330. Minecraft / Fortnite seems ok at their recommended settings. This can be a good everyday laptop.

It does not come with any bloatware like those other popular brands put on Windows, so I don't see the need to do a fresh install. Just do a windows update, once done, do a Clean-up hard drive, and then do a disk optimization.

I know what ltsc is, but it doesn't make any sense to delay regular security updates and patches unless you're only using a computer not ever connected to the internet and not sharing or receiving files from devices connected to the internet.

Mine had the 8/2019 BIOS 1.02 as well, and I just updated to 1.05. Not bricked yet. Not sure what's the difference.

You could flash the BIOS from Windows or by booting the EFI program. If you're working in Windows, you could choose the GUI app or the TUI app. The GUI app did not work for me (quit immediately upon starting to flash), but the TUI app did the trick. I ran
Code:
AMD_PICASSO_PF4PU1F_ESI_3200U_3500U_BIOS_N.1.05_EC_1.08.00_20191127\BIOS\PF4PU1F_3200U_BIOS\FlashUtil\AfuWin64\F.bat
The RomLayout was changed and I forced it to flash. Upon the next cold boot, the BIOS complained that the fTPM NV structure was corrupted or changed, and prompted me to reset the fTPM. After I did that, all was well, apparently.
So I updated the bios and then did a clean install and now windows won't activate. Says there is no license? I'm I missing something?

Wow, who peed in your corn flakes? You lost your cred with your comments.

There's a LOT of times where clean installs are the way to go.
Have you ever noticed that when someone buys a Mac or Chromebook they don't fresh install the operating system?

If you purchase a PC from the Microsoft store do you perform a fresh OS install?

The OS on these Motiles is on the same level of cleanliness in my opinion. But like I said you do what you want with your hardware, you paid for it.

I do too but I always make sure I have a way to go back in case I mess up. Learned from bad experiences.
