"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'.

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 ;-)

Love the size but just not enough power yet.

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.

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.
