1. Driver categories and why they matter

• Chipset / Platform drivers — enable proper CPU, power management, PCIe and USB controllers; foundational for stability and battery/thermal behavior.
• Graphics drivers — Intel integrated GPU drivers for display, hardware acceleration, and video playback.
• Audio drivers — enable onboard audio codecs, input/output selection, and microphones.
• Network drivers — Ethernet and Wi‑Fi (and Bluetooth if present) drivers for connectivity.
• Storage drivers — controllers for eMMC or SATA/USB storage (rare on this model), important for performance and reliability.
• Peripheral drivers — touchpad, USB hubs, card readers, IR receivers, webcams, etc.
• Power management / ACPI — controls sleep, wake, battery (if applicable), and thermal events.
• Firmware / BIOS — low-level platform code; often packaged as BIOS updates rather than "drivers" but essential.

• Fixes: Update BIOS; install latest chipset and ACPI drivers; check kernel parameters on Linux (e.g., acpi_osi=, acpi_sleep options); disable problematic wake devices.
