Linux Mint 20.04 Friendly

I can't tell how the laptop works with Windows as I formatted it right away, but for a Linux machine it's very good. I'm running Linux Mint 20.04 on the device and had almost no issues (only one of them is sound after waking from sleep), not a Teclast issue per se, but when I installed it on July 20th it took a bit of massaging . Almost all problems were solved by adding this line to /etc/default/grub GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="i8042.reset i8042.nomux i8042.nopnp i8042.noloop". future kernel updates. The WLAN performance is sufficient. My Asus Chrometab (CT100) side by side shows 40% signal at 2.5GHz while this one shows 44%. At 5 GHz I get 19% and the CT100 gets 44%. I'm not sure if this is related to Linux or the antenna itself. I don't use it as my daily driver, but I've seen it used as such in a pinch or on a budget. Fast, responsive, and quite impressive for such a small machine, but expect CPU limitations and embrace them. You will not play premium games on it or play 4K videos on it. The battery lasts about 7 hours, so the manufacturer didn't really overestimate the value (as some often do). And all without performance optimization. Of course I surf normally, connect to other machines via RDP or VNC etc. and don't play games or anything extravagant. If you want to do something extravagant, spend your money on something extravagant. This little fella reminds me of my old Asus Zenbook 11" that I miss so much. Helps with cord clutter. Now I just have to lug around an adapter to charge all my toys and it comes in handy. For such a small device it seems it "essential""" if that makes sense. The keyboard isn't the best but is responsive and has good travel. The size is good for me as I have small hands, although I can imagine that someone with large paws will have problems Certainly for the device At this size any user with clumsy fists will have problems, the trackpad works without problems even considering that I hate them I have a BT mouse connected and I am very glad I haven't tried using the system with a stylus I can order it and update this review The future as it looks interesting with a full 1080p touchscreen can't help but be strong n. I recommend this to anyone who "dares" to throw M$ out of the car and add a great Linu x. Well made, can do something, in this size and so cheap.
