I really do have to have 4K hdmi out for my work so 1080p hdmi output won't cut it..

Not a complete list, but maybe we can get something going if that's of interest. In fact, speaking of which, I hope it's not against the rules here to mention it, but would you guys be interested if we were to create a Motile owner/enthusiast community? Not to mention, it might help convince Walmart to continue making these if they see strong community support.
I mean, sure we have that right now, but I'd like to use this momentum to get more organized since right now we're spread across different threads on Slickdeals and we could definitely organize ourselves better (drivers, and all that good stuff!). The Wiki has been a great start.
firefox seems to do ok.
do you output to a 1080p or 4K tv? I outpput at 4K 60hz. thr the hdmi.
I'm still on the fence -- accidental damage coverage is a plus, and the odds of being able to find parts for this in the future are probably not great. For example, I'm not having much luck finding parts for Walmart's Overpowered brand on eBay, nor much under "Tong Fang", and I expect similar availability for Motile.
As an aside, some credit cards will also extend the warranty after a purchased extended warranty -- Amex seems to be one. So for example, if I get the 3 year plan, I'd have 3 years parts + labor through the Walmart protection plan, then Amex's extended warranty benefit will add duplicate the manufacturer's warranty (so another 90 days labor + 1 year parts), for total of 4 years of parts and 3 years and 3 months of labor.
Out of curiosity, if you output at 1080p, do you still have issues? I haven't had trouble with 1080p output, but I haven't had a chance to try 4K yet.
Yeah, I also tried looking for parts and all that. It seems like a challenge! However, we are covered for 1 year hardware from manufacturer and 1 year with card benefit supposedly... question is how this will all look. Would they mail us a part that we could DIY so it's still under the warranty with no labor charge? Haha. Not sure, never been in this scenario.

Were you able to locate keys 129, 131 and 133?
I've gone thr three M142 now. They all seem to have some issues with hdmi. The first one keeps intermittently blanking out for no reason... even with just having the standard windows background only with no apps running.
second one did better but still having the same issues. just less frequent
third one i am on now seems to have issues only when i play a video on the 2nd screen connected via the hdmi using chrome. playing with firefox seems ok.
these things only seem to happen on the hdmi screen. the laptop screen itself never have anu blanking out problem. I am thinking this is somehow related to the vega igpu.
Was hoping more people would maybe check out and see if they have this issue but seems like no one else cares or really use their hdmi frequently.
Did you trade computers in the store or buy a new one and return the old one with the new receipt?

Makes it sound like you had 3 bad machines and all of them had bad HDMI ports

If you're running a stock setup like me, and you've tried three laptops without success, I'd guess the problem is on your end. It's got to be a cable, your TV/monitor, or software (I use Microsoft's Edge beta browser).
Let me know it there's something you'd like me to try to help you troubleshoot the problem. I'd hate to see you have return what I think is the best cheap laptop you can buy.
Does anyone have a similar 16GB RAM stick I could buy for under $50?

Also, bought a Mosiso sleeve for about $10 (search Amazon), fits nicely. Ordered a similar Voova sleeve for about $13 for my other Motile. (my resistance was futile, so I bought them both Motile!)
