Remark

Webcam -

Keyboard Special Function Keys:
F1-, F2-, F3-, F4-, F5-, F6-, F7-, F8-, F9-, F10-, F11-, F12-

The "0/Ins/Menu" key doesn't work as expected. It just opens the current window's menu regardless of Num Lock.

CGI (External monitor) Port -
HDMI connector -
SD card reader -

Remarks:

While the Wifi function key doesn't work, the actual WiFi board is working. You have to use the Settings button to toggle it on or off.
The touch screen works like a simple 1 button mouse - you can tap the screen to click - that's it - no multi-touch gestures.
Touch pad works like 2 button mouse you can left and right click by tapping the bottom corners and 2 finger scrolling works.
