### Wired and Wireless Networking
Wireless is working out of the box. Wired networking has not been tested.
There is only one wireless antenna.
### Bluetooth
Detectable by other devices, has not been tested.
### CPU
Intel® Core™ i3-4005U CPU @ 1.70GHz × 4 ( 2 physical, 2 logical cores)
### HDMI Out
Works out of the box, tested with Nvidia binnary driver (364) and intel on board.
### Input Devices

No touchscreen. Fn + Brightness combination doesn't work. Fn + Volume and media control buttons do work. Fn + Screen On/Off works. Fn + Airplane mode doesn't work. On hibernation touchpad becomes unresponsive. Some say boot some parameters fix it. It didn't in my laptop.
### Graphics
One can Install Nvidia binary drivers to use the Nvidia card. Tested with nvidia-367\. Works as intended. One can use the binary driver's PRIME function to use either Nvidia (High drain, high performance, no hardware video (h264) acceleration meaning vdpau is not accesible?

### Webcam
Works out of the box.

size: 4GiB
width: 64 bits
clock: 1600MHz (0.6ns)
```
It has got one free ram slot that is easily accessible using the RAM bay.
### BIOS
User can disable Secure Boot. User can't disable Intel HT There is a choice of compatibility mode, it was accessible at first boot. I set it do enabled some time and disabled later. Now it is grayed out(?). User can disable AES-NI User can disable Intel Virtualization.
### Battery
Design ~37Wh, Usable ~35Wh ASUS Battery
### Thermal
There is a fan that can turn itself off. Sample sensors output while on batter doing light web surfing.
