What's worth pointing out is that the screen on this laptop can be
rotated so that the device can also be used as a 'tablet PC' via a
stylus instead of the keyboard. In tablet-mode there is no keyboard so
there is no way of pressing the Ctrl+Alt+Delete keyboard sequence.

What's truly amazing however is that someone could be so utterly
clueless that they actually think that Ctrl+Alt+Delete button is there
to reboot the machine. I was wondering what the screenshots and closeup
was for. It never occurred to me that anyone could be so out of touch
to actually think that this was there to reboot the computer.
Then again... this is the same 'technically savy' person who actually
believed and reported about a student in India who discovered high
density PAPER based storage system that played a 45-second video.
