Quirks

  • Ever since the NVMe SSD was installed, the computer might hang when restarting. This is a firmware issue since the keyboard light doesn't automatically turn off when this happens. So, instead, shutdown the computer and then start it.
  • Several keys on the internal keyboard are unresponsive, such as Left Ctrl, S.
