The mic, little mouse thingy, volume buttons, and hardware capacitive keys all work. There is also written by the same person presumably (Alles Andre?) but I do not know what it would do now. Everything works in portrait and the hardware screen orientation lock works as well. It works much better than MSI's implementation in that it works.

The bluetooth driver stack seems much more robust as well, Windows would putz around for a while finding the driver for my *Microsoft* bluetooth keyboard in 7/8 but it gets it real quick in 10 and keeps it.Īs for screen rotation, installed O-Easy and then disabled it on startup and installed the "Whipped G-Spot" screen turning mod (could not find author name).

Heats up quick in my case without a fan.Īs for my wifi/bluetooth issues, the reinstall to Win 7 and upgrade to 10 has ameliorated them. Otherwise it will use VP9 which relies on the CPU, which is weak. Edge plays videos fine.įor Firefox/Chrome use or the Chrome equivalent to force H.264 spec that is hardware accelerated by the GPU. Performance is pretty snappy once it settles down. Approximates Windows 8's Metro land and combines desktop apps nicely.

Others may have a some floor-room though, maybe I have a chip that barely met the binning req.įor the UI, Windows 10 tablet mode seems to work pretty well for touch screen stuff. It looks like AMD took the time to tune the Z-01 to the limit of what the chip could do.

Even a hair under would cause a crash eventually. About 4 hours of battery life from it.Īs an aside, it would crash randomly from the lower voltage settings on the CPU. Under normal Word doc / video usage it gets either warm or uncomfortably hot, but does not crash. It gets hot under constant load and you can make it BSOD with constant heavy loading (installing Windows 7 original to prep for the Win 10 upgrade was very trying). I never fixed the fan, the tablet can run fanless. There are no brightness controls for the screen either, but the light sensor IS working and does produce numbers so that's something I guess. The GPS, which has never worked, still does not. Let me know if it works for anyone still using the Windpad!

Also I could not figure out where to download the Dual Camera Switch program from - doesn't seem to be on MSI's site. The camera, which functioned on 0.3 MP for anything but the Dual Camera Switch program in Windows 8, is no longer seen by the system. Out performed an AMD Radeon HD 4250 (500 MHz -> 700 MHz OC) though, so it's got that going for it!Ĭlick to expand.I brought the Windpad 110W to Windows 10. But to put that in perspective, it was 2 fps to 4 fps on my standard benchmark of MSI Kombustor - D3D10 Benchmark 1280x720 (no submission). The GPU can be maxed out on MSI Afterburner also, it shows a 100% improvement with 135 MHz core to 360 MHz core. I won't be doing this, since I lack a fan, but: I'll note if I was able to make it work fanless. Repasted with Arctic MX-4 very lightly as well. Hopefully the tablet can transition to "fanless" successfully. (2 P states! What kind of low power is this?!) 0.9250V is the voltage that it can switch states successfully. P0 - 1 GHz - 0.9250V Stable (0.8250V was also stable, but the tablet would crash when going to P1 state. Applying as well as some data I took a couple of years earlier: I've probably crossed some winding's wire into another winding, maybe multiple times! I also had to use the small drill bit to shave off the new shard sticking out on that hole.Īfter all of that, the fan just won't spin up. The thing was unbalanced and still not smooth, so I drilled another hole on the other side for symmetry. I ended up using an smaller drill bit to shave off the metal sticking down, really tiny. Before, it was smoothly moving but made the grinding sounds at high RPM's. I tamped the winding wire down, but it still was not moving smoothly. That shard cut some of the winding wire, causing more issues. Unfortunately, drilling in left a shard of metal sticking down from the hole. Drill press made that possible, hand one would be nearly impossible. I then decided to drill a hole in the metal shell around the fan and try to shove WD-40 right in there. I took off the sticker on the back of the fan, only to find metal on the back (some fans' stickers come off to reveal the internals of the fan, which you can then WD-40 and clean w/ a Q Tip). To remedy this, I applied a lot of WD-40, which did nothing. The problem developed while it was sitting in its dock running 24/7 for about a year, running as a media machine.

Fun update on my Windpad: the fan started making an annoying grindy sound.
