Youre not going to break anything if you just modify the things they tell you to.

I've modified mine to disable F1 windows helper. Cause nobody has EVERY gave a shit about that.

F1 is the worst. I got it by accident in excel a lot. I downloaded a script problem to disable it (F1)

Quote from SensibleLaborer1410 :
f512A is a FHD model
Did you mean to type f512A or F512DA?
Either way I couldn't find any info regarding the differences, except that an Asus rep. said that the F was an international model and the X was American model. Nothing to substantiate though.

Received yesterday, 1080p screen is worse than my other 720p screens; not much, but worse.
Two (2) 2.0 USB ports, no ethernet port to transfer files to another computer (work around).
Backlight keyboard is nice, and the size is very nice, but then my other laptops are older.
This 15.6" laptop is about the size of my old 14" chromebook running Galliumos; it's a little wider but not as deep and about the same thickness - very small bezel. If you run linux on it with either the chromium or chrome browser and mount google-drive-ocamlfuse (may be a bug for auto start) on it with the associated Google Drive (15GB free), Photos (100GB free) Docs, Sheets, it can function somewhat similar to a chromebook. But you don't need docs or sheets with LibreOffice - Writer and Calc. Suggest, Mint (solid 4 yrs support) xfce or Cinnamon (new release very soon) MX Linux, Lite, or Solydx as they are are Ubuntu LTS Long Term Support based except MX and Solydx which are Debian Stable based per https://distrowatch.com/dwres.php...popularity
https://wiki.galliumos.org/Additional_Software See Google Drive Integration or
http://www.webupd8.org/2013/09/mo...oogle.html newer search.
Add the brave browser and maybe Opera or Iridium and you have all the browsers you need.
I'll probably just add 8GB for a total or 12 ($32) and possibly a 500GB SSD or use an external drive. Cheap laptop, but for $300 plus ugrades running linux, it will be very fast compared to windows, no 3 hour updates, You can download, check and verify an iso in about 30 minutes, (I have 10 Mbps) and install and update in about 20 minutes. Windows is wiped!

For Windows 10, 4gb is enough, many of the enterprise systems run on 4gb after Win 7 upgrades. We been running Win 10 on 4gb Dell Optiplex 700x, Lenovo M80's,81'82's and up DDR2 and 3 ram. It works for daily tasks and office work. If you need something demanding, double it up or max it out with the money saved.

These people are "special". They need their 1 billion Chrome tabs open. They demand that a $300 PC do what they envision in their heads with God by their side. They are the special that have taken multi-tasking to new AI, automated levels. These $200-$300 PCs MUST meet their demands.

I for one couldn't agree more. After speaking with my God Aquaman he insisted that these PCs be waterproof and have powerful antennas shaped like his trident so he too can enjoy the experience.

I've purchased 3 as gifts for overseas for family members who are college students. Apparently their demands and use of the PC are limited to regular stuff and not "special" needs stuff. It's a win for me and them! Yay.

Doesn't seem terrible for the price but the upcoming $350 HP deal at Costco seems well with the extra $50.


https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/t/14131667
Kind of a coin flip, extra value for the Costco warranty imo if that's your focus. I think the Ryzen chip is better, but it's hard to argue a better cpu is of any use in a machine like this. Both are ok, and a lot of laptop for the price, there's compromises for this price point.

Yeah, these laptops are good for what most people do. If you're aware of the computer's limits, It's not hard to keep resource use low while using Windows. You're just not going to want 6 resource heavy programs running simultaneously and expect smooth operation. This is a great time for regular users getting good value for $300. Cheers.

Not real cheap but these should work; it's what I ordered - Amazon.

I've been loading Ubuntu with just chrome on this low end laptops. Ubuntu 20 even has option to install just with just a browser.
Can you clarify or point me to a link on how to install chrome ONLY, or a browser ONLY with Ubuntu or other linux distros. I'm not familiar with that and my searches just point to installing chrome or a browser. I assume that you are stating that you are installing a browser only, not that you are only installing one browser - just for clarification. Thanks.
