Current Issues

• Internal speakers do not turn off when headphones are plugged in (see below)
• The fan almost always on. The temperature of CPU is almost at 50C all the time, on full load it can goes to 64C. Because of this, on normal usage at normal environment temperature, the battery power will enough for 2.5 hours, on lower environment temperature it could span into 3 hours.
• Wireless driver needs Restricted Driver (see below)
