PowerSpec G330 updates- bluetooth concerns
Hi, I have a powerSpec G330. I'm having trouble keeping a consistent bluetooth connection with a headset (happens when in linux or windows on the G330). The same device has no issues keeping a connection with another laptop. I suspect out of date drivers/bios. Can I ask for a breadcrumb for how I can check that?

When will Micro Center carry Framework devices?
The Framework website couldn't handle the traffic yesterday after a surge of interest from their recent presentation. They've got a ton of amazing offerings coming up and their present offerings are pretty good. When will Micro Center get these items in-stock?

Is there a way to stop Node Center from controlling the CPU/GPU usage? My laptop is Vector Pro 2.
I currently have a battery problem which prevents the Vector Pro 2 from reflecting the true battery percent (I have tried reinstalling all the battery drivers). Because of this, I am assuming that the computer does not want to use the CPU properly / at high performance. It only runs games at ~15% CPU usage, which is…
