I just got through shutting it down & putting it away for a while.
If it's going to ever be a usable computer, the SSD has GOT to be upgraded. There's 7.1GB available out of 8GB & the OS is about 6GB. This is after running Monolingual on it, which freed up almost a GB.
None of the USB ports are working. The only USB item that shows up in System Profile is the Webcam. The battery doesn't show up either. There's a PowerManagement package in one of the updates I downloaded & I just put it in my Shared Folder so the Dell can find it the next time I turn it on.
The Dell & Asus are both very easy to get into. Both have a panel on the bottom held in place with 2 screws.
I also got an email from the company that charges $16 for shipping, letting me know that it comes from Japan & must be insured.
