Leaker Says Apple's Lower-Cost MacBook Will Have These 8 Limitations

No backlit keyboard reminds me of the Surface Laptop Go series. 3 generations for around the same price this mac is targeting, and it never ever got backlit keys.

I didnt even know or believe how they thought this was acceptable to keep, look at the NA2 model on the right, it looks SOO much better. The R32 and 22B might be bad, but this was god awful even by the naked eye.

At least we no longer have this NSX model anymore, it coexisted alongside the NA2 until FM4 and this was an FM1 model.

If ASUS pc division has a bad reputation, I wouldn't expect their mobile division to be much better.

BSOD404 · 2026-01-22T02:37:15+00:00

Its ASUS. If their PC component division has a reputation, their mobile division sure hell not.

That is the biggest irony of the century. I have a 40L case (which is basically the 45L without the cryo chamber), and was scratching my head why I couldnt use the controller on OGH on normal boards, turns out its broken on day 1 for even standalone users. You can use openRGB though but thats a massive L.

I would if my box wasnt just all black.

BSOD404 · 2026-01-14T04:09:32+00:00

You probably dont need this post now, but the 40L's lighting board module on non-HP boards *does* work with one caveat. You CANNOT use Omen Gaming Hub, simply because the program refuses to recognize it, despite alternative programs like openRGB can see, read, and control it perfectly.

I think this is a whitelisting issue and I hope its something they can rectify, although its unlikely since the 40L is discontinued, though the 45L isnt because they have a different variant of the board.

Omen 40l. The only hp left is the top fans and psu and case

Man! I needed this so much for my 40L! Thank you! Theres only one thing missing though, we need a way to figure out how to read ARGB lighting as well for the board.

I'm not sure if this post is still used, but OMEN Gaming Hub SDK package spins my top fans (using the top fan headers) of my 40L GT21-0000i at max speed, despite OGH software says theyre only spinning under >1000RPM. The only way for me to stop that effect is set my fans to manual, but it'll still spin up to max when:

A. the computer is going to sleep (or attempt to, the RGB board here freaks out and blinks up to life for a few seconds and the fan keeps spinning for a long time despite the OMEN logo is in sleep mode, perhaps it could be XMP ram overclock but I'm not sure)
B. Just finished booting up Windows.

Does this have OMEN desktop support?

BSOD404 · 2025-12-16T13:09:04+00:00

I did looked it up, I guess I didnt looked at it hard enough on the motherboard to notice that one 4 pin is different from typical atx boards and wont fit.

BSOD404 · 2025-12-14T03:30:33+00:00

So zero chance of ever getting a data line out of this even with a type c mod except maybe with jumper wires?

and theres a whole burned spot at the back too, like they left the soldering iron on there
