The docking and undocking process can occasionally have hiccups. If you’re
running an app that uses the GeForce GPU, the Detach key on the keyboard will
glow red and a pop-up will appear asking you to quit the app before the system
unlocks the detaching mechanism. (The GeForce chip resides in the keyboard

which is rare among laptops in general though standard fare on Microsoft’s PCs.
Not only is 3:2 useful for some digital artists, but it also lets you see more of a
webpage or other vertical document before you have to scroll.
