No problems with the video card, sound, internet etc.
The only problems I thought I had was getting the Wifi working, I spent a lot of time looking for the problem that was not there !.
I found that I had to switch on the Wifi on the keyboard after I booted
oop's then configured it and the wifi works ok .
Is it normal on some laptops to have to switch on the wifi each time you boot ? (you can tell I'm not used to laptop's )
