Review: Nice Laptop but Beware... - I got the laptop, plugged it in and booted it up and found I had no wifi and it didn't show up in settings. After doing some research I went into BIOS and turned off Secure Boot. It booted up with wifi but the next time a rebooted I got a fatal kernel error and it wouldn't boot up at all. After more research I found that Ubuntu doesn't work well with Asus wifi drivers and one way to fix it is to try a different kernel. I've never done that before so it took a couple of hours in the terminal to get it installed, but it finally began working correctly. If yours works, be thankful because if it doesn't you're in for some work. One other thing I would mention is that they advertise the numeric touchpad. I tried it and couldn't get it to work so I checked the documentation that comes with it and found that it only works when Windows is installed. All in all, though, when it all works it is a nice laptop with good graphics so it was in the end worth it.
Review: Great Ubuntu Portable - Excellent little laptop. Upgraded to newest Ubuntu LTS with no issues at all. Runs great and fun to use. Even have X-Plane 11 installed as backup to my desktop. Glad I made this purchase.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Loved the ability to max out memory and drive sizes.
*by J***. on 15 June 2026*

Bought for daughter. She didn't like the monitor as it was small.....bought her bigger portable monitor. Still did not fit her needs until her HP died, then she loved this Lenox OS based laptop. Used for collage learning not gaming.......then again, the next one is on her dime.
