>Studying the images, of the four different models (green, blue, 2 orange),
>- only one of the orange machines looks to be functional
>- it's screen doesn't seem any different than a standard laptop screen
>- it's UI looks just as unintuitive as a normal UI
>- it might require an external mouse
>- it has a standard power cord attached - not hand crank or pedal power
