well, it doesn't say on the website, does it? :] i think the biggest difference between MP and M was the multi-touch-screen... i _think_ they are all fanless because of the CPU models, they are not that high end. but 116 and 117 are not bay trail but braswell if i am not mistaken, and i don't know the state of braswell on openbsd... > > it suspends, resumes, most things work; > > the clickpad and the wifi being notable exceptions. > > > > Does this mean that despite dmesg recognition, the pms0 device somehow does > not work at all (=need external mouse), or does this mean just > fancy-schmancy gesturing support won't work (limiting the pad to working > like a conventional trackpad)? the bios has to clickpad settings: basic/advanced. i could not make it work reliably with either of these settings. it seems to work sometimes but than it goes "crazy" and the mouse cursor runs around so fast, it is blurred. so at the moment yes, i have to use an external mouse or vim :] > Is the apparent absence of separate trackpad buttons (as per pics I > googled) an issue?

(I prefer matte.) the screen is as the price tag suggests.. not amazing but quite usable. i am very happy with it because my requirements were: cheap, quiet, small, run openbsd w/o uefi (at the time there was none in openbsd). -f -- i'm a tagline. when i grow up i wanna be a novel.
