It will obviously be chewing up some extra power running the internal computer guts and may require hitting those keys every time you turn it on, but the display is 100% paid for and not too shabby.....
Great thought! I’ll fiddle with it when I get the mini and see if I can figure out how to make that work. I’m not worried about the extra power since I use it infrequently.
