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.

which one is the touchpad driver?
Oh didn't realize they didn't have it listed. You could try rebooting or running Windows update using just your keyboard and seeing if it picks up drivers.

Like several others who mentioned the keyboard backlight on silver model, after receiving the silver model I can confirm that it's barely useable, too little light from the letters and shiny background make very poor contrast. It's uneven, too - much dimmer in the center of keyboard. Reordered black version, will return silver.

Quote from TheCapt :
I had the same problem. I tried updating/ changing drivers, and letting all of the Windows Updates go through. It would just freeze in Chrome or IE, and then I would get the Not Responding message. It seemed like it was just certain websites, so I thought it was a plugin issue or something, but then it would work without issue the next time I was on that site.

I troubleshooted it for a few hours or so, but ended up returning mine today. I didn't think it was worth the time to try and mess with it. I've personally never had good luck if a device is buggy from the start. I didn't really need it anyway.

It seemed like a great laptop otherwise. The screen looked amazing, and the login was fast.

Funny note, when I initiated the return on Walmart.com I selected to return the laptop, bag, and mouse. The the site came back and told me to take the laptop and bag back to the store, but I could keep the mouse...must not be worth the cost of returning it.
Firefox runs perfect on this. Just an FYI

This link has a delay delivery. Is this one the same as the link u posted? https://www.amazon.com/Intel-Netw...ics&sr=1-1

Just received my laptop today, but for some reason every time I use Chrome I would get "not responding" every 10 min or less. Anyone know why or have the same problem?
Yea use Firefox it's flawless, and yes that card is the same any of the intel ax200 models in m.2 2330 size will work

It's definitely some issue on the software side that google and IE need to address and I'm sure they will. Keep reporting that bug when it asks.

I almost resorted to that Smilie. I never gave Edge a chance either..so that may have worked as well vomit

I just felt that Chrome should work. I assume it was just some software issue, but I didn't want to waste my time figuring it out. I'm not knocking the laptop...if I really needed one right now, I would have kept it and figured it out.

Ok y'all convinced me to get this over the Lenovo. It's for a kid who just wants to do the basics plus Minecraft and stadia.

Not too sure how someone is missing trackpad drivers because the drivers for me shows windows precision and this is from a fresh install. Those drivers are working flawless, what I am missing now is the Sound Blaster Connect for the speakers. I checked the windows store and nothing, online the drivers are just google app store apps. Did the audio driver from the motile website come with the sound blaster connect?

Frown . was definitely not a good idea to try to just plug in the ssd from your old laptop into another one. There's a good chance of messing up the old ssd windows boot configuration when you do that and it now might not work correctly anymore even when plugin back into old laptop.

There's no separate trackpad driver. it's part of the amd driver package

See the community wiki for the link for additional driver file another user saved from device manager. Right click on .inf files to install. But do you really need to have that additional drivers? i did a clear install and all i did was installing the realtek additional drivers, which you dont even need to get sound to work as window default sound driver is all you need to get sound unless you want a few more additional fancy settings. didn't really miss that thx whatever thing either.

Its a chrome issue. My deskto pc chome will freeze after openning too many tabs, which seems leading to consume 10gig memory.

The audio works for me with the fresh install but its very low, someone else mentioned the Sound blaster connect has a setting for pre-amp to be ticked on and then changing the audio eq to something of your choosing. I already download the audio drivers from the motile customer service site but I don't see that file for the sound blaster. It's true its not necessary but I do want to try it to see if it brings my audio to a more suitable volume.

Quote from wildpig1234 :
are you right near your router? also maybe try to update the driver for the wlan card?

When i did a clean windows install, right afterward on the old default win10 2017 wifi driver set, i notice even though the laptop detect all of my wifi network, it would have problem connecting to internet even if it shows connected to my wifi network... updating to the latest driver solves that issue for me. But i still see the signal being just slightly lower than my other laptop sometimes. Which is why i think the wland upgrade is worth it. i ll probably do that soon

with both the motile and my hp (intel 9560) being about 6-7ft from the router, my hp max out the internet download speed of 90mb/s while the motile consistently get 67mb/s on speedtest. So even at such close range, the wlan upgrade is worth it.
Thanks! I just updated everything in windows, except for the BIOS and audio drivers. Been using chrome for about 30 min without hiccups now . Been letting utube run, while browsing on slickdeals, facebook, and urlhasbeenblocked). No lag or freeze at all. Im surprised. Going to download WoW and try to play it now. My router is pretty close to me, about 5-7 feet in the living room too. I'll just buy the wifi 6 just in case i move somewhere farther away.

I just bought the intel ax200 on amazon for $18 also. the 3168 card in the motile is slower on both 2.4 and 5ghz bands compared to anything 2x2 even when you are only a few ft away. add to that the shorter range, its definitely worth the upgrade, which is not even that expensive anyway....

Confirmed metal - 1) it has RF-transparent plastic windows on both sides on the bottom, with slightly different color; 2) cool to touch; 3) so thin (can be seen on bottom intake grills) that plastic of such thinness will bend like paper, only metal can be as rigid.
