OK, anyone else see the marketing slight of hand here? They cannot have it both ways. The panel cannot be the equal of a 8.5"x11" piece of paper AND have only a 10.5" diagonal useable area...the diagonal of a 8.5"x11" panel is just under 14"...hence why I put PL into the area of a company I am not interested in ever doing busines with, they lie, or, if you prefer, call it misdirect if you want to be "nice"...I call it BS from their marketing wonks.
I am not impressed and unless there is something not shown or unsaid, this is a way overhyped device...I wonder if they hired aPPlE marketing people?
Also, the PPI is LESS than the Skiff with is over 170ppi compared to the Que's 150ppi...Que has a lower resolving power than the Skiff, according to the current marketing info that is...
