suspend/resume causes disk corruption even when set not to write
to disk. The key combo is very close to one of the emacs keys,
so it came in the way quite often.
I had to install a special X server, but worked great once installed.
Beautiful screen. Heavy. Hot after short use. Slow compared to a
desktop, but that's usual for laptops, I guess.
