| Stable, macOS work machine. | MicroSD Card Reader (not needed, DISABLED at BIOS) | HDMI, currently only outputs at 1080p.Though capable of 4K 4096x2150. |
| USB A, USB C, Audio, Sleep, Ethernet, Integrated Intel Graphics | Fingerprint Reader (not needed, DISABLED at BIOS) | Function keys, F1-F6 work. The rest need to be mapped and patched via DSDT/SSDTs. |
| iCloud suite: App Store, iMessage, FaceTime, iCloud Drive, etc... | Wireless WAN (not needed, DISABLED at BIOS) | Power management, currently 5-6 hours with average usage. Maybe a custom injection with CPUFriend will optimize this? |

| TrackPoint *with SSDT patch | Thunderbolt 3: proper patch needed. |
