Q: QuestionIs this version militarized meaning tough to withstand minor mishaps?

Asked 1 year ago by Wondering.

• A:Answer As an aerospace test technician for a major connector manufacturer, I would like to mention that the MIL-STD-810 (H is the most current revision) is often used in marketing to suggest that their products are somehow "ruggedized." However, without a Certificate of Conformance (CoC) from a manufacturer or independent test facility stating which tests in 810H were conducted, I would not consider this to be anything more than a gimmick. The current standard is 1,107 pages long and contains methodology for various types of tests, some of which are no more hazardous than everyday use. It is a shame to see that Asus is going this route, though if they are willing to provide a CoC I would be very impressed. For more information about the MIL-STD-810H you can check it out at by searching for "ASSIST QuickSearch" and typing in "MIL-STD-810" in the Document ID field; click the top link for the most current standard which includes Change 1 from 18MAY2022.

Q: QuestionIs this laptop, mainly wifi, compatible with Linux?

Asked 9 months ago by s667.

• A:Answer The ASUS Vivobook 16 M1605YA can run Linux, but there are some considerations to keep in mind, especially regarding Wi-Fi compatibility. The laptop uses a MediaTek Wi-Fi 6 module (MT7902), which currently lacks robust Linux support. This means you might need to use an external Wi-Fi dongle for reliable connectivity.
