Thank you for contacting ABS.
There is some discrepancies between the real specification of the Mayhem Blackhawk and the specification on our website. Here is the correct information:
The barebook of the Mayhem Blackhawk is Compal GL-30. And the screen resolution of the laptop is WXGA 1280X800. And the whole computer weighs about 2.5kg.

There’s a problem on the website. Is it 3.28 pounds or 2.4 kilograms?
The tech specs say 3.28 pounds / 2.4 Kg but
2.4 Kg is not 3.28 pounds, so which is it? (It’s 2.2 pounds per kilogram.)
