@george

Thanks for your reply and insight. As for the thickness of the shell, i actually think that is a positive point, the thick shell makes it very well suited for people like me (ict-manager) I feels like it will travel well: The sturdiness, passive cooling, power efficiency and having a large battery is just what i need.
As for the RTL driver slowing boot time, thanks for the info. If i used the AX200 instead i probably wouldn't have known about it.

If i where to put my finger in something, (im being really nit-picky now) The charger has an awkward shape (43mm wide). Asus has a nice 12v 3A charger (36mm wide) with the correct 4.0x1.7 plug. Just ordered an off-brand variant for 25$ (inc. shipping and vat)

Having used it for about a week now, there is very little that i would change about the laptop itself, (Optional back-lit keyboard maybe?)
When kernel support hits mainline, I think the CM5 laptop will become interesting to a wider group of people.

We have plans to push the machine to the Armbian main line, but some business issues have not been resolved yet. We will notify you as soon as we enter the exhibition.
We will release the CM5 laptop version of Ubuntu 24.04 soon.
Thank you for your support.

@Rock
The current human-computer interaction interface of uboot is not yet perfect. We are trying to do this and will notify you of the version launch as soon as possible. Thank you for your support.

@Rock
At present, the maximum version supported by coolpi laptop is 23.04. Ubuntu 24.04 has just been released a few days ago and adaptation will take some time. It is expected that a version will be released in May. Thank you for your support.

The currently debugged LCD models are shown in the attachment. The github code has been supported by default. The replacement steps are as follows:

Replace the LCD screen with a touchscreen model Replace the ribbon cable It is necessary to add a touch screen level conversion board

@kaktus The current loader does not support decrypting boot partition.

@anernest said in HDMI Port Disconnected:

@george Please help me out here. The HDMI port only seems to drive small portable monitors. It does not recognize the Dell P27815Q 27inch monitors or the Samsung 50inch TV when I plug them in. This makes the laptop virtually useless to me if I cannot use it to drive HDMI monitors while traveling in meeting rooms. If I cannot get this resolved, I will need to return it and get my money back.

Just wanted to set the record straight regarding the Cool-Pi team's responsiveness. @george had immediately answered me in another thread (Laptop USB-C Alt Mode). My bad for creating multiple threads on the same topic and not checking them all.
