First, I generously bought it for myself. Young adults are staying at home longer in greater numbers in pandemic proportions across the world. Second, I'm nostalgic, and I've been intimate with this machine.
3rd, I've been having dust appear behind the screen (now on the 2nd display replaced by Apple). I've read the dust entering the machine may be a result of heat (heat causing the glass to expand, reducing the seal, and for the fans to blow in dust). I wonder, if the 27" is operating solely as a display, might it get hot less and be less likely to incur irretrievable dust? Thank you.
