* Ears: easy connect, insert molded ears
* Rubber feet: grip even on slanted desks when they are bumped
* electrolytic caps: have short lifetime in heat, our low power laptop doesn't need these type of capacitors (every other laptop on the market uses them)
* Dust/Water Incursion: in process of testing for IP 42, IP 53 (Ingress Protocol). rubber sealed keyboard and touchpad base.
* Scratch resistance: texture on the laptop makes it's scratch resistant
* wide voltage input to laptop: 11 volts to 18 volts
