Kogan Atlas 14.1" N360
VerifiedMPNs: KAL14N360PA and N3601 review
Buyers regret – Bought the laptop with the intention of running Linux on it as it has a bay for a hdd(ssd), that was easy enough was booting into Linux but it was freezing on occasions so I decided to change the setting in the UEFI(bios) for OS selection to Linux on restart absolute nothing, not even a POST or Bios screen, as no matter what one should be able to get into bios but it not even getting to that point as it shows no life. Not impressed and now waiting for a response from Kogan. Stick with main brands as I now have a brick from one bios setting 30 yrs in electronics(as a career) and PCs and never had a simple Bios setting do this.
As stated my intention for the notebook was and still remains to be able to run linux unfortunately the notebook is not fit for this purpose. As it seems to suffer some sort of random lockup[ie no mouse/no keyboard]as such when I seeked out help your [help desk] response was a lecture about me not being allowed to run my own OS from the help desk, this included a reference to a one page manual, which by the way has so much contradiction in it a five year old designing a car on paper would provide better clarity and two youtube links to Acer brand note books[not even the same model/brand/ bios brand or close to answering the question I asked. So pretty sure this review as warning to others is staying up! The unit is running the original OS but this is not why I wanted the laptop. And a bios setting should not cause an unrecoverable fault.
