From the look of it, the NAND flash is taking the place of your RAM, yes?

I looked at the website for half an hour. I still don't know what that slatted wooden drive is, but I think it's ugly. I don't know if it's all the multiple options, or what, but this is too complicated to appeal to common users. It's too complicated as presented, I should say. Some labeling of ...

Replacement or s/h screens cost more than an entire used, complete working unit.

that's why we deliberately picked an LCD with an extremely common and hugely-widely-used size. make and model.
