I have so far hit any hardware problems - everything is working fine. I'm
actually really surprised, I was expecting the trackpad to be an issue -
but it is perfect!

The system feels very fast and responsive, and the GUI is relatively close
to Mac OS styling, so it doesn't feel too alien. I've used Terminal in Mac
OS plenty in the past, so there hasn't been too much of a learning curve
on that side of it either, although I am absolutely not a CLI expert!

I'm unfamiliar with "the accumulator"...
