(not specified how it works)
Beschreibung:

There is no webcam. Libreboot can be installed on this laptop (first time installation requires SPI programmer and laptop disassembly - not as hard as it sounds).

Tested devices that work:

  • SD card reader
  • Upgrade to 8Gb RAM. This chipset can handle at most 8Gb and they have to be 16 chips each (each RAM stick must have 16 chips, 8 on each side). RAM sticks with 8 chips (4 chips on each side) will not work.
  • Fingerprint reader
  • Sound card
  • Built-in Intel iGPU
  • Built-in ethernet adapter
  • USB WiFi dongles. I didn't try installing mPCIe WiFi module yet (don't really need it). Any mPCIe WiFi card with free firmware should work
  • Touchpad and red joystick in the middle of keybord both work
  • Media keys on keyboard

Untested devices:

  • FireWire (1394) controller/port
