So I’m like a week in… but I bought an ‘p8 mini laptop’ off ebay as it found a sale cheaper than aliexpress… but i’m loving it. n100, 12gb ram and 512gb hd. amaa
Necro edit - forgot to mention I got it for 330 pulse shipping
The only things that aren’t working out of box are autorotating the screen and when the device boots up it seems to want to display the login screen on a screen other than the default. A simple closing the lid, waiting for it to sleep and reopening the screen fixes this. Or if you have an external monitor it’ll output there by default. I feel like the latter could easily be fixed as it feels like I need to default it do the correct screen and I suspect it’s picking up the touch screen device as the display… It shows up on the battery settings as a display with a discharging battery for some reason. The auto rotating doesn’t bother me… I prefer having explicit control of the rotation for my needs.
so i have’t really gotten to test this hard but seems like 4ish to 6ish hrs of work… It does get a lil warm but I have my plasma settings to change cpu gov on power events and that really helps… i think i could get more if I switched to sway or something. It suspends really well with only loosing a percent or two overnight and hibernating works.

Did you had any troubles with the hardware? Did the touchscreen work out of the box and which OS?

I’m using endeavoros with plasma 6
How’s battery life? Thinking of using mostly as e-reader.
