Troubleshooting

Device is not connecting to Wi-Fi 7 network

Ensure your router firmware is updated to support Wi-Fi 7 and check that the Windows network drivers are up to date.

Application won't launch or crashes

Check if the application is compatible with Windows on ARM; try running it in compatibility mode or look for an ARM64-specific installer on the developer's website.

  • Advanced Wi-Fi 7 wireless connectivity
  • Durable, military-grade aluminum chassis

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Initial setup is streamlined through the Windows 11 Home (on ARM) interface. Upon first boot, ensure you are connected to a high-speed Wi-Fi network to download the latest Windows updates and drivers for optimal AI performance.

Compatibility Note: Because this device uses an ARM-based processor, always verify that your critical professional software has an ARM-native version or is compatible with the Windows 11 x86-emulation layer.

Care instructions include keeping the aluminum chassis free of debris by using a soft, microfiber cloth. For the screen, use only specialized display cleaning solutions; avoid harsh chemicals. Since the memory is on-board, ensure you close resource-heavy background processes if you notice performance bottlenecks during intensive multitasking.
