1. The bigger issue is sometimes while browsing chrome the computer becomes unresponsive. It starts out with chrome becoming unresponsive/mouse lag but then i cant even close chrome. The whole pc lags and i cant even open task manager. My only solution has been to kill power to the pc and restart. It seems to do this more often when i open a webpage with tons of thumbnails like a photo gallery but will do it random on occasion. I was hoping the solution is bigger ram stick as i dont want to bother with using other browsers. Would like an opinion on that.
2. My second problem seems to be related to the audio drivers. I have "two" playback choices on my speaker output. One is realtek and the other is thx spatial audio seen here: https://prnt.sc/s46tey . The realtek one sounds way too low so i have thx spatial selected most of the time. Very seldomly while watching youtube a video will not play audio under thx profile and i have to select realtek in order to hear audio. What could be the issue with that?
3rd question is in regards to ax200 wifi upgrade. I dont seem to have any issues with wifi dropout unless i am about 25 feet from my router. Am i going to benefit anything other distance from upgrading the wifi card? My ISP only provides about 60mbps bandwidth and the original card supports up to 400something.

2. try to find a fix for realtek. i dont use thx as its the one thatsounds quieter for me. i think someone posted something about this here.
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.
Error: Image size (16777216 B) doesn't match the flash chip's size (262144 B)!
Any help would be appreciated.

I actually pack a 24in 4K monitor in my carry on case so i have a nice on the go system. Upgraded with 32GB sodimm. 512GB WD Blue SSD anx the AX200 wifi.
Maybe they will make a follow up model with 4500U and dual channel ram? lol...

The few issues I have are
1) In Zoom and Team calls, the other participants have been complaining that they hear an echo
2) The camera is excellent in good light but in rooms with bulbs, the color is a horrible blue. Don't know where to do the white balance for the video image.
But for the above two, the battery life, display are excellent.
