        ↳ AT Translated Set 2 keyboard            	id=13	[slave  keyboard (3)]

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? [1] ) or Intel (low drain, hardware video acceleration(h264).

### Webcam

Works out of the box.

    slot: ChannelB-DIMM0
    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.
