ctrl alt arrow works with nvidia graphics cards I think, but not sure, and yes tent mode is for small spaces or when you put an other keyboard and mouse, it uses less space on the desk and 2 usb port are usable!

I switch from laptop to tent mode a lot and my solution is simple:
unplug the tablet from the keyboard,then enable autorotation in the charm bar(swipe from right to left on the right edge). turn updown the tablet and disable autorotation. plug the tablet in tent mode and thats all!

to have automatic onscreen keyboard, enable tablet mode on the charm bar, it’s working for me.

Dan,
I forgot your question about sd card vs usb3, in fact the sd card slot is slow, 45Mb/s for read from it and 20-30Mb/s for writting on it (tests made with real files copy/paste from and on it)
usb 3 key:165 read and 50 write, so for gaming usb3 is better.

I also forget to mention that the dolphin emulator is compatible with original wiimotes and nunchuck, now my cube i7 book is like a nintendo switch (with usbc to hdmi i play on big screen and i can also play anywere!?)

hi john,
I made my order the 30 October, it was shipped the 3 november and arrive the 15, with express shipping to france. I think it can take up to 4 weeks without express shipping and with the 11.11 huge number of commands it can took more over.

Dan, if you intend to upgrade the ssd, you will have to open the tablet, it’90 % of the thermal mod, think of it!

katagiri, i will upload a video when i will receive my copper shim, for now i’ve just add o thermal pad in it, that does the job but i want to go further.

Dan,

I’ve some experience with screen replacement but the thermal mod is not such a thing, I will try to make a video of how you can open it. a plastic card (like a credit card) and a metal spudger (or something similar) is enough, then a little bit of patiente is necessary. the tablet could be hot, a case will be good if you play with the tablet in your hands.
For wii games i tried donkey kong country returns and new super mario, both are full playable (50fps) with good graphics, see attached picture (fps in little on uper left corner), I don’t know if real 3d games are playable. Game cube works too, i’m playing metal gear solid twin snakes that evening with very good graphics. I play with a bluetooth controler (ipega 9023 on attached picture too) but ps3 pad in usb works too. I also try pc games as homeworld desert of kharak, roller coaster tycoon world. I have to try gta V but all the others games are on my usb 3.0 key and I’ll prefer put gta on the ssd, i will do that when i upgrade the system ssd, perhaps in january. I don’t have overclock the tablet to pmay, perhaps if i found a game that need the tweak but for now all is good without.

I’ll also try remix and linux (mint or ubuntu) indual or triple boot when my ssd will be upgraded

Hi,
I think that you don’t have to do a “clean” installation, I bought it on Gearbest too. I use it for week now and all is right out of the box (exept 2 shortcuts on the desktop all seems to be clean). If you’re not english you have to change language in settings and that’s all. Do the updates may take some days if you let the systeme do it itself or go to updates and make it manually till the anniversary update (you will see a new icon on taskbar with a Pen).
I use it for some works (3d printing) and a little for gaming a lot of recent games are playables in low graphics but playable, and i love retro gaming, i use dolphin to play wii games and it’s really fun, if you are aware with open your tablet do the thermal mod it’s the only thing i will recommend to you for gaming.
To add easily bases sofwares you can ask “ninite” to google and follow steps, it will automaticaly install the programs you have selected.
Have fun with your tablaptop!?

and sorry for my english, it’s not my native language

Hello,

If you want a cheap but working EMR stylus, you can use a samsung galaxy note 3 or 4 stylus, I ‘ve tryed with a note 4 stylus and it works like a charm on gimp with pressure control. The différence is that note 3 had 1024 pressure points and note 4 2048. the only missing thing is that you don’t have rubber on it.

Hi,
to reset bios you can just push the little button near the power button (see picture) for few seconds, (5 may be good)
