Apr 19 19:49:26 jon-bmax kernel: snd_soc_avs 0000:00:0e.0: DSP detected with PCI class/subclass/prog-if info 0x040100 I didn't notice it in Windows initially, though admittedly I didn't use it much, mostly testing prior to installing Mint, cant help feel it might be connected with the point at which dual boot recommendation re power option in windows, but difficult to be sure.

There were a few goodies like the VGA legacy port, the spare M.2 slot, the Gigabit Ethernet port and dual-band Wi-Fi. Its storage subsystem is similarly anemic delivering only a fraction of what you’d expect from a traditional SATA SSD. Bear in mind though that you can always replace it with an M.2 2280 SSD to boost performance; you will need to have a system or disk cloning software to help you out. Note that there’s also a blue activity LED. Competition This is first time of using a bluetooth speaker so sorry if there is something I'm missing. I'm making sure device is not connected to anything when trying to pair from different machines.

This is a dual-core, dual-thread CPU launched four years ago with a TDP of 6W, 2MB cache and a base frequency of 1.6GHz. Despite its tiny power dissipation, it does have an active heatsink fan to cool it down more effectively.Apr 19 19:49:27 jon-bmax kernel: sof-audio-pci-intel-apl 0000:00:0e.0: Topology: ABI 3:22:1 Kernel ABI 3:23:0 No surprise here; the combination of a slow processor with near-obsolete system memory and inferior storage technology delivered some of the lowest system benchmark numbers we’ve seen in a while. On Geekbench, its single core performance is about half that of the Intel Celeron J4125 while its multi core one is about a quarter. On the BMAX I'll try some other Linux (probably Lubuntu which I have some familiarity with). The BMAX is a toy really, to play with other hardware and generally mess around. As for the LM21 laptop, the bluetooth not working doesn't bother me and so will most definitely stay LM21. A tag already exists with the provided branch name. Many Git commands accept both tag and branch names, so creating this branch may cause unexpected behavior. Are you sure you want to create this branch? Finally note that the preinstalled operating system is Windows 10 Home 64bits. Price and availability
