I normally don't use it for more than 20 minutes at a time, so I'm not too worried about this. I'm still waiting for AR - my dream screen is contact lenses with embedded displays floating over my retinas :-)

That's a good point, and it brings to light an unspoken assumption underlying my post, which is that the use-case is a web-based, read-heavy OLTP-style system. If you were thinking of things like OLAP and data warehousing, then I'd agree wi
