You can’t crank it up to the full resolution, but you wouldn’t want to anyway

There's software for that, and you can bet your bottom dollar I'll be doing it ;-)

This reads like an advertisement. Why is it on the front page of HN? I call BS.

This is not the "Platonic ideal of a laptop"—it's a smartphone with no touchscreen and no modem.

"You are really, really going to want this laptop". Really? Don't tell me what I want. This reads like a breathless child is getting a new present. And they just learnt the word 'impossible'.

I agree, it struck me as breathless and fact-free. I gave up reading when I could not find any review, just description and praise, praise, praise.
