    Did you install the drivers?

    Run devmgmt.msc and see if there are any uninstalled drivers.

    Depends. Try transferring large files like video and it will speed up to about 100MBps. Transmitting small files will never get you better speed, it's like 4K files on an SSD.

    And also, don't expect it to reach more than 100MBps, theory and real life are two different things.

    We didn't forget to brand it. We don't put the model name on the laptop i.e. Satori. Only our company name MALIBAL.

    There are 2 USB 2.0 ports and 2 USB 3.0 ports. Did you use the wrong port?

    the fuss about Nvidia/AMD drivers is the length of time AMD updates their drivers specially if the current one is giving crappy results for a particular game (Nvidia releases much faster).

    although... Nvidia has released quite a few drivers that would make you rollback to an older one anyways lol.


    Gratz on your new toy! :D

    I see absolutely no difference after using color calibration! unless I am missing something, I added them through color management. no flickering of screen, the videos look the same, hopefully some1 will help me out, ill try and do a video review this weekend for u guys! :)
