looks like burn marks to me but it could be copper? I'm not sure if there's copper under the gold contacts though.

Ok, seems gimmicky, but I kinda like the idea of having a secondary display for simple navigation. :P

I definitely see a use in the Photoshop brush tray area, and even more so in the ability to dump your taskbar down there and run more things full screen without intrusions would be nice.  The thing I don't like, and I know it's a prototype, but that keyboard needs to be redone, it looks like one of those cheap ass iPad keyboard's you buy off Amazon for 20-40 dollars.

I think its a Surface keyboard with a cheap plastic covering because of the prototypiness. :P

A square in the middle of the CPU with no connectors? I haven't seen that since the K6. I thought they all have the entire bottom surface covered in pins.

Intel need no extra contact.

Ummm....

You havn't seen any Intel CPUs in a few years huh? The 4790k has an "empty" rectangle on the bottom and doesn't have pins either. Hell, Intel has made LGA CPUS since 2000, LGA being CPUs with the contacts and the pins on the motherboard.

Note im not saying his CPU is a 4790k, but i was using it as an example of a higher end user grade CPU

I've always used AMD.

An entire life time of poor performance and excess power draw. :(

I have no idea if this is the right place to talk about this but...

I just started my Junior year and I'm in a class that's just straight up building PC's. We all get our own PCs to use in the class, but we have to build them ourselves. I am extremely excited for it and I can't wait to start.

This is the perfect place to talk about it!
Do they give you a budget or give you the parts already?
