- [3:24] Let's look at the tablet. It is really thin and light – how were you able to make it so compact? What were the tradeoffs? (Battery? Screen resolution? Power?) How does it perform?
- [5:08] You have several options for chips – what are they and why did you go with several configurations? What are the various prices?
