Props to them for making the display vertically rather than horizontally oriented. I've been incredibly tired of the stupidly short 16:9 displays dominating the market. However, one has to wonder why such a good display is being wasted on a product like this. Great specs, great display, but horrible, crap operating system.

Who needs this kind of laptop to just browse the web? I would buy this in an instant if it had some custom Linux distribution on it.

I guess it's Retina or nothing, then, unfortunately.
