  • CPU: Intel Atom N570

  • MEMORY: 1Gb
Downloaded Linux Lite 4.4 and ran test to make sure my old Acer Aspire 1 laptop/notebook could handle the os.  Looks great, but when I tried typing, I found that half the keyboard spits numbers instead of letters.  I determined I could get letters by pressing Fn key before the problem keys, but I want to find out if this bug is fixable before I install on my pc.

My notebook is 64 bit with 1 GB memory and Intel Atom CPU N570 @1.66 GHz x 2.  Unfortunately, the bios have never been updated, since Windows 7 never helped me do so, and now all I have is Linux Mint Cinnamon 17.3.

This may not truly be a "bug", then, but a failure on the part of a tired old Acer.  If so, I may have to resort to buying a new laptop.  :-[
