  1. Hi Chad,

    Thanks for letting me know to check these posts.

    See if you can frame your photos to not clip the edges of the object.

    I agree that a laptop can appeal to a broad audience. Is there anything that would differentiate this laptop in some way to target a subset of the general computer user market? I'm sure there's something to start to set it appart whether it's affordability, performance, gaming, etc.

    Thanks.
