Not true. Actually, the less capacity is utilized (of theoretical maximum), the longer will be lifetime of li-ion batteries. For example, if kept between 20%...80%, they may last for 10x more cycles. That's why electric cars' batt

Technically it can drive up to 3840x2160 at 24 Hz if overclocked, but the video decoder is limited to 1080p, limiting practical use cases. But you are right, 1080p screen would be better fit (for even cheaper price). I'm currently usin
