         | wise, sure, it will get outperformed, the screen is only 60Hz.
         | To me it's like a piece of art I'm afraid to actually put to
         | hard use. I have taken advantage of its open source nature,
         | opening it up, messing with the batteries and wifi card, and
         | seeing how to affect the hardware components through software.

         | My flaw is my addiction to 4k 120Hz which it can't output, and
         | that if I just need to accomplish a simple task I already have
         | ultrabooks lying around that I'm more likely to grab because
         | they're lighter and faster. But I still am glad I bought it.
