I forgot about that. I was referring to the remasters in this case, but now that I use my brain, these aren't those.

By any chance are any of these quasi-drm-free (as in, can run after buying without using steam as the launcher)? I bought Red Alert and the original C&C on Origin when they released there, and I had a bit of buyer's remorse for needing to use the launcher. GoG has spoiled me I guess.

If you use uBlock Origin, you might try experimenting with [right click] > [block element]. Success will vary between sites, but you can clean up quite a bit of stuff this way. >edit: I may have misunderstood what you meant. What I'm referring to will potentially hide the entire suggestion...

I think Divinity Original Sin 2 has an iOS port. Probably enough game there to stay occupied for several flights.

Looks like the silver still shows 259. The link lands on the blue one. Edit: looks like silver is now sold by a 3rd party though...

If it doesn't shine the Aurora Borealis into the room like in that pic, I'm gonna be disappointed.

inc spam some good hits, and one strange miss

This is worth trying if OP hasn't gotten it yet (looks like it's been a couple of weeks). I've had to do this, even recently, same error message at the same stage selecting the target drive. (I think the system was even of the same era, Z97.) Leaving the intended boot drive as the only internal...

Just noting my unit corroborates with various "v1" info so far: -model "Maestro-Ebook11" per bottom label -bios date 04/28/2020 -audio realtek ALC269 (works out of box with ubuntu/mint -wifi realtek rtl8723du (works with ubuntu/mint/probably many after compile) One thing i've been curious...

If I recall, mine read as alc269 according to software used in windows. And it worked out of the box with ubuntu 20.04, so I too am puzzled by the reported audio issues. Although I did have an unusual knocking noise with either the built in mic or a mic hooked to the 3.5mm jack. Not surewhat...

Not 100% sure but between that and the Revision field below it saying xxx-B2, I'd say it's a reasonable bet.

Not sure how to interpret those values in AIDA, but as an alternative, cpu-z provides stepping info more clearly.

If it's any consolation, the bottom cover removal is about as simple as it gets on a laptop. Just remember where the 2 or 3 longer screws go.

A shot in the dark, but at one point i changed a bios setting for OS from Windows (default) to "intel linux". Same thing, could not get back in. Had to pull battery to reset settings and made a not to just leave that setting alone. I had lubuntu running on this prior to regularbuntu but could...

No, the only thing swappable is the LTE adapter.
