This model is discontinued but remains independently verifiable. Relies on a Silicon Motion SM768 chip for all three displays — the manufacturer explicitly advises against graphics-intensive apps (2D/3D design, video editing, full-screen video playback, gaming), and HDMI is capped at the 1.2 standard, hard-limiting resolution to 1080p.
