In the 'long run' this machine is mostly going to be used in a 
'non-portable' mode, as a small footprint way to mess w/ Win10 a little 
bit and mostly boot various linux distros live to see how they do on the 
hardware.

In that mode, it is only a few feet away from gigabit ethernet and wall 
power.  The laptop also has gigabit ethernet and it is currently running 
off the AC adapter, so what's one more wire - and the connectivity will 
be much faster than wifi.

But, I'm also going to continue to try to solve the variable Broadcom 
wifi problem.  I will also be shrinking the Win part to boot some 
installed linux distro/s.  This little laptop can 'compete' for position 
w/ a lightweight Chromebox I usually take on trips.  The chromebox 
definitely has longer legs in terms of battery life because of the 
combination of ChromeOS and eMMC storage whereas this new one is 
spinning a disk and running more ram; I'm sure it will have less than 
half the battery life.
