## Installation

This device can only boot in UEFI mode.

This device has an IR camera that can be used for face recognition authentication, try Howdy if you want to use that feature.

To control the keyboard RGB backlighting, you can try python-ite8291r3-ctlAUR.

To have touchpad toggle and Airplane mode toggle working, you can try `uniwill_wmi` module in tuxedo-drivers-dkmsAUR.

Additional steps may be required to get the screen to use a high refresh rate, see Intel graphics#Add support for 165Hz monitor and Kernel mode setting#Forcing modes and EDID.

## Accessibility

The appearance of the UEFI is simple and not very colorful, so it might work well with OCR software. Navigation can be controlled by keyboard or mouse.

Note:

- By default, this device requires manual installation of memory and hard disk. Ask for help if you cannot do it yourself.
- Blind users should request the help of a sighted person to change UEFI settings.

- System Setup: `F2`
- Update BIOS: `F7`
- Windows Recovery Mode: `F8`
- Boot Menu: `F10`
- Network Boot: `F12`
