Recycle Asus E202SA/2go ram

Post by Jovial »

Hello

I got a mini pc Asus E202SA: celeron 3050/2go ram/Hdd50/fanless 6w/11.5"

In 2024 with Windows 10, it is very slow. Install a ligth linux Os is a solution :
1- You only can upgrade hdd vs sdd https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uetgOJu4YOE
2- Ti install Linux os I've tried Xubuntu, Zorin but with Realtek RTL8821AE wifi is unstable. Not in Linux Mint 21.3 xcfe all seem to work. Download here: https://www.linuxmint.com/edition.php?id=313
Install iso with Usb creator or Rufus.
With new Ssd it boot directly on the key, else maintain F2 touch pressed on start to access bios/boot sequence select usb in first and save.
Folow the installation Process ans restart after removing key.

With this small processor, i'm surprise, it works quite well for a basic use: internet video musique , photos, video .
Of course don't open to many applications and tabs on Firefox.
In Mint Xcfe the interface is easy and pleasant.
I just added from the Application software: VLC, Telegram, Signal, Whatapp desktop, Gimp, gTumb

Concerning Asus E202 you can find powerfull model with 4go, and Pentium N3700/N3710 (52% faster)
