I will update it as I fix bugs and get more things working. This guide exists as an English-language guide to me sourcing my own Let's Note RZ and getting Windup and running on it. Where else will you find a tablet-sized, true laptop with 8-16GB RAM, a Core M, 3 real USB-A ports, a full-sized HDMI port and a full-sized VGA port? I believe that they are completely missing the point of this 10 inch device. The keyboard is nowhere near full size, all of the manuals and websites are in Japanese, and most western reviews I can find of the Let's Note RZ look at the laptop's design as dated, its price tag exorbitant and its accessibility overall poor. Unfortunately, this computer is basically unknown to the American market. The Intel Core M 5Y71 is the same processor as used in the original 12" MacBook and is still plenty fast for use as a netbook-type device. I vastly prefer its clamshell layout to current-gen competitors such as the Microsoft Surface Go - my RZ4 is also still relatively capable compared to the Surface Go 2 hardware which is using a newer but similar Core M processor. I own a Japanese-market Panasonic Let's Note RZ series as a go-everywhere laptop running some Windows utilities, WSL2, and a terminal to access more powerful hardware in the cloud.
