The Russian version may or may not have a soldered SIM slot. A decoupled slot is observed in instances with serial numbers less than 200 with something (the exact limit is not clear).

In copies without a SIM slot, there is only one box, a small one and a cloth bag-bag included (a la suede). Apparently, initially some kind of “universal” copies were sent to Russia, and then “specially Russian” appeared.

About power from the automotive network 12V, Kulibin note. The voltage in the onboard network is very unstable. Do not be misled by the direct connection of car stereos and radios to it - their power supplies are designed for this. To charge the tablet, you need a car charger with a suitable power of 12 V.

It is recommended to flash fresh (as of 9/10/2011)BIOS v1.06(improves the behavior of the touch buttons) andfirmware NB EC Firmware v4.12(i.e. NoteBook Embedded Controller firmware; first of all, it improves the behavior of the light sensor and the touch buttons).

In case of multiboot settings, etc .: before booting the OS (in BIOS mode), the "circle" button (O-Easy) - Enter, volume rocker - up-down cursor (it would be nice to check, maybe Escape is there?).
With the help of the programAutohotkey(Russian site) you can do small wonders, such as setting up non-standard functions on the few hardware buttons that are available on the device.

Option to combat the loud buzzing vibra. The problem is in a poorly fixed vibration motor (located near the charging plug). We disassemble the device and with something we provide a pressing to the body (or disconnect it altogether).
Fighting whitish colors on the screen when disconnecting from the charger. By default, ATI's Vari-Bright technology is included in the ATI video card software. Who knows about the technology of LCD panels, he knows that the panel mode is more energy-efficient (the backlight is weaker and the percentage of transmitted light is higher), the worse the picture. So if you want to always see the real colors that the IPS panel is capable of, then you need to say goodbye to the savings.
Path to settings: AMD Vision Control Center ->Power ->Powerplay ->In general, remove the bird from the option "Enable Vari-Bright" or move the slider to adjust the quality to "Maximize Quality" (thanksminimal448andzer66607).

On the subject it is impossible to load the operating system from the SD card, since the card reader driver is loaded only in Windows. BIOS does not see the card reader.

Tweaker for AMD APUbrazostweaker. Allows you to reduce the frequency and voltage of the processor core to reduce power consumption.Carefully We read the description so that there is no unnecessary trouble. Unfortunately, it does not allow to overclock the system, only to slow down.
There is such information on successful tweaks:
You can simulate pressing the right mouse button by pressing with your finger and, without releasing, “tap” another finger next to it. Even in some games it works, but not in all (thanksdsvbm).
The optical joystick on the front panel is initially too sensitive. It is necessary to chop up its setting (in the same place, where the sensitivity of the mouse is regulated).

When disassembling, first of all remember: it is necessary to unscrew 6 screws (4 - under the plug-in rubber feet and 2 - next to the power socket) and not to lose the side buttons and switches (when disassembling, they can descend far "jump out").

On the Tablet PC Review forum, people discuss that the native SSD is very slow compared to possible alternatives:I upgraded my Windpad with a $ 100 64gb MyDigitalSSD. It turns out that if you want the MSI 110W to work as it really can, then you need to change the SSD (although the question arises about the power consumption of the new SSD).

With the release of the AMD C-60 processor, a jim-jams appeared on the possibility of replacing the Z-01 with it. Alas, the processor is soldered so that such an upgrade, to put it mildly, is difficult (not to mention the issues of BIOS support, etc.).
A promising topic is the use of a docking station connector for your needs. It has USB, HDMI and one more thing (see reviews).You just need to know the pinout and find the appropriate connector. Who has the information?
