8. User Tips

• For Heavy Excel Users: While the FreeBook N150 is designed for multitasking, for extremely large Excel files (e.g., over 200,000 rows/megabytes) that require continuous processing, monitor the device's temperature. The advanced cooling system helps manage heat, but prolonged heavy loads might still generate warmth. Consider optimizing large files or breaking them down if performance becomes an issue.
• Keyboard Layout: The keyboard is English layout. If you require other language layouts (e.g., Arabic), you may need to use external keyboard settings or stickers.
