[9fans] glenda at 3200x1800x32

i was kindly sent this by someone who's had success with a modern
laptop:

 Hello Erik
 
 Just tried the latest usb image and wanted to let you know it works quite 
 well. I get this message, though:
 
 acpinitr: pm1sts 0x400 pm1en 0x100
 
 repeated all the time, getting a lot of context switching if i read stats 
 -lmisce correctly.
 
 The screen cat [can] get to 3200x1800x32 with vesa, which is the native panel 
 resolution,  and it works quite well. This laptop has an intel and a nvidia 
 card. I guess it is using the intel by default.
 
...
 
 The notebook also has two disks (liteon mstata 32GB and samsung evo 250GB) 
 and both get listed in  /dev/sd*. They are partitioned using GPT partition 
 tables, which i guess 9atom does not handle yet.
 
 So here is another proof that plan9 can run on recent hardware, including 
 beautiful notebooks :)

sadly, no onboard ethernet.  i think the usb stick ethernet should
work with a little poking.

Is any more specific information available about the manufacturer and model
of the laptop?
