Just that I would rather use open source drivers. I always try hard to 
buy systems that will not need closed source drivers but I really wanted 
the best resolution for the screen. For example the nvidia driver is 
triggering rt kernel warnings on boot and at some other times and there 
is no way to fix that (that I know). Apparently no side effects and the 
driver works fine otherwise...
