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.

Has it ever frozen on you? Mine has a few times.
I bought two, one for me and one for the wife. mine has been great. hers is weird. when she tries to turn it on or just open the screen when its been closed while the computer is running, she just gets a blank screen. Doesn't respond to anything except a hard shut down and restart. Pretty annoying, so much so that she rarely uses it, pretty much gave it to my 10 year old for minecraft

it crashes once a while but that's mostly while i am using chrome.

I run starcraft 2 at 4K resolution output to my monitor using the low to medium settings and it works very good.

I run windows 10 ltsc so it will only download the most critical update. ltsc is the best windows ver with none of the extra bloatware from ms.

this laptop is still one of my lightest most versatile laptops which is why its the one i always carry with me for traveling. My 2nd backup laptop for the road is the 15in HP with 4500U cpu, which obviously blow this one away but is significantly heavier and bigger

The ethernet port on this motile is also a great feature that i use quite often given that this motile is actually what i use for work a lot to connect to wired network to get the full speed benefit that is not available at a lot of places on their public wi fi network.

Curious if BIOS version plays any role in the crashing? I held back when I received a unit on older 1.02.

I am on the original bios. Never updated it. Mine was one of the earlier unit also. I bought a total of 6. i think two of them experienced several crashes even after updating all the drivers and i returned them. the other 4 didn't have any apparent problem

I think that a few of these units definitely have some quality issues. If you can get it to run reasonably stable for a week after updating the drivers to the latest vers (most important drivers are the amd chipset and graphic), then its probably good. If the thing keeps crashing even after all the latest drivers, i think it more likely some defect, quality issue and should be returned.

I think you are right that some of these crash or freeze on occasion, like mine has (mostly just frozen and become unresponsive), but fortunately mine does not do it that often. However, it's still disappointing because otherwise this would be an excellent notebook.

Sadly, however, the battery in mine has accumulated gas and has popped open the bottom lid ;(

Curious if anyone knows whether or not there's still assistance out there to obtain unlocked bios? I've been using my M142 since Jan 2020, successfully updated to EC 1.08 and Bios 1.06 but wanted to see about unlocking bios features if possible.

I was able to upgrade Motile to Windows 11 and seems to be working fine so far. The one issue is the Motile Bluetooth mouse. It works but stops working after some time or if I use the built-in touchpad anytime. I have to turn muse off and on to have it working again. Anyone know what the issue might be or whether there is a way to fix this?

One of the best laptops I have bought for the price, upgraded the internals ofc. Windows hello is now a feature I can't live without.

Your battery is still good with no bulging and hold charges well? I would think that for most people coming up to 2-3 yr, they would likely need to replace the battery anyway, unless you also never or only occasionally use your laptop.

A year late but here's a guide to unlocking the bios. Let's you overclock the ram and reserve less for the graphics.
