Henk Poley commented on Henk Poley delete_comment: Maybe I should remove my vote their. I do not have the actual machine but was looking for opinions on similar ones. I do believe I searched for possible problems and can vaguely remember some problem. Sometimes I just upvote legitimate looking items, when they would be a problem for my own use case. btw, could it be that the "problem" is that the display is smaller than 1080p?
