#1 Can't wait for the manufacturer's recall when they discover the Intel 5000 Quad Core chip sets the damn thing on fire. Heh.

#2 I followed the link.
Many years ago I had some furniture advertised as "Pressed Wood", made by putting epoxy and wood in a huge press and "Pressing" with heat to form bentwood pieces, very hard, but could be chipped, which is why I no longer own it, also it was hopelessly "Sixties-Mod" and completely ugly (Okay, I was poorer then and it was cheap enough to put up with the "Ugly")
This computer looks to be exactly the same Presswood stuff.
