Yes, there is a buffer. The keyboard is frustrating because they removed the :/; key and made them a function under the K & L key. Bummer of a way to save space.

I've been able to shrink the window down by grabbing the lower right corner but there is a limit to how small you can make it. On my computer I can shrink it to about 20% of the total screen area.

I had a similar problem, until I used a book on either side so that the page feeds level in and level out. Then it was clear sailing, never had the problem again. Hope this helps.

Sorry, don't remember. Got rid of it pretty fast because I didn't like Windows 8.

Everything sounds normal the OS takes some space, and any installed apps and extensions . Also a number of files are cached like recently used Google Drive files, emails, etc. In your browser visit chrome://quota-internals/ you can see your full OS space used and available.

There is not but the software allows you to make windows in the screens that read as independent screens. For instance i have to monitors split up into for screens.

It's a very real problem for me. I can only install a handful of applications (less than 10) that I want. I had to uninstall chrome (which I loved) because it took up 1/3 of my usable internal storage.

As they said, no. You could open 4 browsers and arrange them in 4 screen quadrants, though.

Thanks for the extra information, interesting about the rectangular pixels. This seems like a much bigger project than I thought it was going to be. I tried a lot of resolutions and found one that appears to leave only one column of pixels on the right side unused. It's 430x222. Funny how a single digit can make a significant difference.

Not at all. After owning mine for a week I was trying to get rid of it. It's so slow I can barely surf the internet. It sometimes takes minutes to load a textual page. Stay away from this computer

I have 92 inch screen I sit about six to seven feet away and I font see any pixelation or the screen effect. I need to get about two feet away to see any pixelation

Overscan using catalyst control center. That's how I get full screen on my LED TV.

In desktop (classic Windows) mode, yes. The desktop UI can be manually scaled to be more readable, but it makes certain apps not work correctly. This is the case with all Windows devices with small high-res screens like the Surface Pro and some Ultrabooks. However, the modern/metro touch-based UI does not have this issue. All of the apps for the new UI will scale to the screen res automatically.

You could do that by opening 2 programs at the same time and shrinking each one to half size of the monitor. It makes for a smaller workspace on each one, but that is not a problem.

YES!! You have the posibility of enable or disable the onscreen keyboard. The keyboard shows inmediatly when the page, or program need it

no idea. I am not in love with this laptop, mainly because of windows 8. I generally use my chrome book and an old laptop with an older windows instead.
