Lenovo Ideapad U310 touch user experience, hackintosh, etc

have the U310 touch for about one month now so here are some feedbacks just in case.

Good stuff:
1. Light (ordered default config with 500G WD harddrive, replaced 256gb mSATA SSD made by aDATA)
    that WD harddrive took about some weight. 
2. Build quality (seem rigid)
3. sleek
4. UEFI windows 64 install with GPT partitoin.

Bad stuff:
1. LCD screen (resolution 1366x768 kinda low also whiteish. anyone knows if I can swap in a higher resolution?)
2. back cover difficult to take off (or maybe it's a good thing)
3. replace SSD immediately void warranty.
4. Hot.  Not sure why so as it's an i3 Ivy-bridge (shoud have choosen an I5)

Tweak stuff:
1. with SSD & UEFI/GPT, it boots really in seconds (with iRST, maybe 2 or 3 seconds, without, 6 or 7 seconds)
2. put on UEFI IATKOS_ML3U (relatively easy with hindsight).  Was very painful.
3. Porting Win8 to SSD turned out very simple (although I struggled quite bit).  There is an install.wim which can be restore to any partittion with imagex.
Then fix the BCD from the EFI partition.

Now the U310 is an ultra-book (paied $589 @ Lenovo + $219 SSD with $50 MIR) with dual UEFI boot win8 & Mac OSX ML.

Overall, quite happy (4.5 over 5).
