Intel Atom E3950: BMAX MaxMini B2 features the latest Intel Atom E3950 2.0GH z processor to give you the performance required to run processor-hungry applications. I didn't notice it in Windows initially, though admittedly I didn't use it much, mostly testing prior to installing Mint, cant help feel it might be connected with the point at which dual boot recommendation re power option in windows, but difficult to be sure.

Step eight use a boot loader like ventoy to load the modded iso with 64bit Linux os on it, do NOT try to burn the iso directly to USB will not work for bmax plus b1 machine. So that just leaves the Bmax native sound, where to next ? I noticed there is a "quirks" setting (with dire warnings the world will end if you use the wrong one) ... Re test 2 above I actually have two identical laptops. The Mint 18 one has been my daily driver for years, the second one ran Windows 10 and wasn't really getting used so I replaced the hard drive with a new SSD drive and put latest mint on it (installed from same USB drive as used for the BMAX), the idea being once the apps on Mint 18 are working on the second laptop I would make the switch. Anyhow, like the Bmax, it completely fails to connect to the bluetooth speaker.

That’s the reason why it is so cheap.

The new fanless miniPC BMAX B1 Plus is nothing but an improved version of the BMAX B1 that gets a bit up to date while maintaining its low-priced miniPC spirit.

Despite its tiny power dissipation, it does have an active heatsink fan to cool it down more effectively.Screen shots are also included for people that are visual or need to see a step-by-step, they are followed exactly along with the steps like step one image goes with step one in these instructions and etc. Apr 19 01:11:31 jon-bmax kernel: snd_soc_avs 0000:00:0e.0: DSP detected with PCI class/subclass/prog-if info 0x040100 Apr 19 19:49:27 jon-bmax kernel: sof-audio-pci-intel-apl 0000:00:0e.0: Firmware: ABI 3:20:0 Kernel ABI 3:23:0
