| - | [* black] the first thing we notice is another big change to the cooling system! Quad-core performance without a fan is pretty impressive, but it'll be interesting to see how hot this thing gets under load |
| - | [* black] Also spotted: another quad-cell battery, with no pull tabs in sight :( |
| - | [* black] on the plus side, screws so far are torxy! (3's and 5's) |
