Current Issues
The numbers on the numeric keypad do not work. The "5" key produces mouse button 3, and the "+" key produces mouse button 1. The other number keys do not appear to register at all, but the numpad <enter> key works as it should. These effects are the same whether num lock is on or off, and they carry over to the USB desktop keyboard plugged into it.

Notes
The external screen (at least through the SVGA port) simply duplicates the laptop screen. The HDMI port is as yet untested. Turning off the laptop screen by closing the case also shuts down the SVGA screen.
When entering hibernate or suspend mode, often a popping sound is heard, like a power arc. This does not appear to happen in a normal shutdown.
