Display: 14" 1080p IPS (240 nits, 62% sRGB)
CPU: Ryzen 3 3200U (Passmark 4610, single thread 1634), Vega 3 integrated graphics
RAM: 4GB DDR4 2666 MHz (non-soldered, only 1 slot)
HD: 128GB SSD M.2 SATA + empty M.2 slot (first slot supports SATA and NVMe, empty slot supports NVMe)
USB: 2x USB 3, 1x USB 2, 1x USB-C (USB-C does not support charging or video out)
Video out: HDMI (full size, can do 4k @ 60Hz)
Other: Ethernet port, audio combo jack, SD card reader
Wifi: 802.11ac (Intel AC 3168, 1x1)
Bluetooth: v4.2
Backlit keyboard: Yes (though apparently does not look good on silver model)
Camera: 720p front cam with IR
Construction: Magnesium aluminum
Battery: 47 Wh, ~7.5 hr battery life, 65W charger
OS: Windows 10 Home 64 bit (not S)
Weight: 2.55 lbs
Warranty: 1 year limited
Selling points:
-1920 x 1080 IPS screen
-Extremely light weight for size, with competitors (eg LG Gram) being much more expensive
-Compact/narrow bezels - 14" screen on laptop that is the size of a 13"
-Quiet
-Metal construction (Aluminum magnesium alloy)
-Backlit keyboard (some people do report the silver model the backlit is not bright enough due to the silver background of the key. with the black model having the best backlit/key background color combination)
-pretty good trackpad (large size)
-Ethernet port, full size HDMI with 4k
-Windows 10 Home (don't need to convert from S mode, has zero bloatware so no need to reformat)
-Front IR camera supporting Windows Hello (login to Windows using facial recognition)
-Very low price for all of above
-Runs Ubuntu Linux [reddit.com] perfectly (no driver installs, command line edits, etc)
Detractions:
-1 slot of RAM - so no dual channel, resulting in ~25% graphics performance hit
-Comes with 4GB RAM. While sufficient/fast for most people (despite what forums will have you believe), power users may benefit from 8GB, an easy and cheap upgrade
-Not from a well known brand (it was put out by a partnership between Walmart and THX)
-Screen could be brighter outdoors (240 nits)
-USB-C does not support charging or video output
-Wifi is 1x1 (can be easily upgrade to AX200 2x2 wifi 6 for about $18, some people do it to get the fastest possible Wifi 6 speed as well as reportedly better range and less signal drops)
-No 2.5" slot
-Trackpad a bit fidgety for precise movements
-Speakers are what you would expect for this class of laptop
8GB RAM for $30 (replaces the 4GB, so total after upgrade is 8GB not 12GB)

I will save you all the hassle, it does NOT have a second slot for RAM. RAM is single channel/slot only.

So much so that I am expecting it to just break, catch fire or some other catastrophic failure which will break my heart.
I would also add, if it ever goes back to $199 I am buying one for everyone in my family.

If the Ryzen 5 version ever comes back at $299, I'll have to think about getting one of those even though I really don't need it.

Linus just dropped a review vid and he's ecstatic for it @ the $250 price point.

Check out another Motile thread which has Amazon adapter links. :
https://slickdeals.net/forums/showpost.php?p=
It says :
The charger tip is 5.5x2.5mm. The specs on the charger say it's a 19V, 3.42A charger.
Also the wiki in that same thread has USB-c chargers :

For example: the AMD software let me define a 16:10 2560x1600 60Hz 8-bit resolution via HDMI that's the native resolution for my 30" Dell U3011 monitor: before I could only get 1920x1200 max.
Note that the software looks like it allows you to overclock your CPU and GPU and really screw things up if you don't know what you're doing so use at your own risk.
To get the software go to https://www.amd.com/en/support/
From the pull-down menus select:
"Processors with graphics" > "AMD Ryzen™ Processors" > "AMD Ryzen™ (3 or 5) Mobile Processors with Radeon™ Vega Graphics" > (Your Processor)
Download and run the installation file ("win10-radeon-software-adrenalin-2020-edition-20.2.2-mar5.exe" - I think it's the same software for both Motile laptops but not 100% sure.)
Install and enjoy.
Does anyone know how this charger would work? The USB-C port outputs 45W.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PZSXL9J?
The current AC adapter "19V, 3.42A". By multiplying those 2 numbers, I get 65W. Do I need a 65W charger then? Thanks!
