I track stable/8 & head (in different slices) on it daily; it normally takes about an hour to take care of both of those. And it has a 1920x1200 display -- as well as 2 sets of 3 mouse buttons each (each of which works as expected). I have found that I sometimes manage to slide the "WiFi disable" switch to an unwanted setting accidentally, and the power connection slips out a little too easily, but those are about the worst things I can think of with respect to the hardware.
