Issue: At times when typing into the WIN10 search it won't allow me to click/right click on the results. Restarting takes care of this until it decides to do it again at random. Doesn't happen every time.
Question: Fn+F2 (lock) I haven't figured out how to make it work. Am I doing something wrong? I thought it was supposed to "lock"/prevent keyboard typing
I thought at first the magnet was hitting the base of the chassis and the laptop wasn't going to sleep. Then I realized if you squeeze the closed laptop too hard or put something a little heavy on it, the screen will depress a key and turn it on. Be alert of this.
This was discussed in the wiki at the beginning of this thread. .
I am looking for this particular driver. If anyone knows how to get it let me know. i don't think its included on motile support site.
Anyone know what improvements they made in the 1.06 version?

The best budget laptop was that costco $280 14" that all came with i5-10th gen cpus and iris plus graphics. it was benchmarking 8000+ and in the thread there was comparisons in graphics and it blew away the vega 8

The deal is dead online a while back. If you visit the local costco and ask them persistently to check every single box of that model/item number, they might have one. I don't know if the price of $299 is still good. some of the stores may or may not have anymore of the i5 ones due to new arrival of the "correct" i3 ones.
The i3 one is comparable to motile r3 with the exception that it's faster in single core and dual core cpu bench. but the price of $299 compared to $199 for the motile R3 is not very good. also i3 comes with the old uhd graphics
Iris G4 in i5-1035G4 is good but i wouldnt say it blew away vega8. see this bench:

Anyone know how to fix that? My BIOS is the latest one 1.06 that got updated yesterday without any issues.
I bought this kit, it comes with a ch341a programmer and test clip: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product...UTF8&
Follow this tutorial to set the programmer and test clip up:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2...2B0
Here are my steps:
-Run Ubuntu (or any distro you like) on VMWare on a functional PC and install flashrom via terminal (sudo apt-get install flashrom)
-Open up a web browser and download the BIOS firmware FOR YOUR DEVICE from the Motile Support Website (link located in the wiki)
-Extract the ROM file from the downloaded .zip file. In my case I have the M141 so, I extracted the PF4PU1FN105.ROM file from one of the sub-folders nested in that archive
-Connect the programmer to your PC. VMWare will prompt you to connect the USB to the host or virtual machine. Select virtual machine
-Crack open your lappy then attach the test clip to the BIOS chip (8 pin chip slightly above the first M.2 slot) and make sure the metal contacts are touching each pin.
-Open Terminal and type: sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -r new.bin
-If flashrom detects that the connected chip is a GD25LQ128, proceed to the next step If it gives you crap about being unable to detect anything, unplug the programmer from your PC, reattach the test clip to the BIOS chip, plug the programmer back in, then run the command again.
-Close the terminal and open another instance.
-CD into the path of the extracted .ROM file
-Type in: sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -w <.ROM file> (In my case I ran sudo flashrom --programmer ch341a_spi -w PF4PU1FN105.ROM)
-Let the process run, it should take up to 30 min to complete.
-Assuming everything went well and the verification was successful, screw the back plate on, power on your laptop, wait 5-10 seconds, and then you should be met with Motile-THX splash screen. You'll then be taken to the BIOS setup page soon after.
-Save and Exit out of there.
-Done.

You can tell it's ok sleep cause the power button will slow blink you can see it ok the backside. After waking it's steady light.
Use hibernate on lid close instead or try putting a thin silicone cabinet bumper on the lid to keep a bit of space between screen and keyboard.
