Me? I haven't even gotten that far yet, and frankly probably won't want to monkey until I decide on exactly what higher specced hybrid to end up on.

It might be an opportunity to try that charge/hub dongle and maybe try booting linux from USB at least though. I'll see about getting around to it.

Also I came back to add this:

is the BT kb that I purchased. It's pretty nice.

and this

is the rocksould mouse... couldn't be bothered to check if I posted those before. I think that I did, but...

Got the x80h busy downloading Civ V ATM to uSD (Sony 64GB UHS-I) it's going ssssllllloooowwwwlllllyyy and civ v is LARGE.... and that's an example of a poor choice of a corner to cut, wireless networking. I would add memory but the z3735F can only address 2GB max anyways... with my bt kb/mouse... those are working VERY well if I haven't mentioned it often enough yet... only thing better would've been a case with kb/trackpad or at least a kb...

Back to linux, yeah I'll test at least booting from USB IF I can as I'll also want to test that with the T300, and here's where we go corner cutting again. The T300 well, we'll save a nickle eliminating a bus connection to a kb/dock and leave everything for some sort of USB3 hub(which never work well IME) shorting storage AND RAM. Well, had they opted for a proper dock they could've done what they did with the T100 and T200 hdd bay in kb dock along with the possibility of a "power cover" ala Surface Pro 2... (that was another thing that drew me to the new-old Surface Pro 2 I could get that batt cover that added c. 3-4h of runtime... as well as being a kb... enough rambling)

[EDIT]

Well I got Civ V finished but didn't try it, and updated the intel gpu driver to the latest via their update utility which worked even though it misidentified the version number of what was "factory" installed.

Retried Block Story and upped horiz/vert distance, water quality and some other things and it still played fairly fluidly although I didn't carry on with the tut, just walked farther on trying to force block loads.

Also tried Morrowind since youtube vids I'd seen with better(dual channel mem and higher base clock) Atoms was reported choppy. IME it was fluid(no extra mods, blood moon and tribunal installed steam) played to getting into Seyda Neen(IIRC starting village). No perceptible slowdowns, although I didn't try monkeying at all just trying to get as quickly to escape to outer world as quickly as possible. This is more astounding given the videos were from slightly higher clocked Atoms WITH DUAL channel memory... v. our single channel memory which DOES/WILL affect iGPU perf...

IF this had more memory I'm thinking that I COULD live with it. Now I'll wait for the T300 to arrive and see what that does.

Sorry about the disjointed writing but I broke into the Lagunitas Imperial Stout that I bought earlier as one of the caps was apparently loosened on the trip home(leaked) and WTH it's going to be a miserable day tomorrow as well, weatherwise and I'm not going anywhere or have any projects.

More to come later. I'll say again IF you can live within the memory limitations this isn't seeming all that bad although I did notice stuttering when browsing the other day(flicking through web pages) with only 4 tabs open in firefox(noscript, tabmix+, adblock+).
