    Im using a COVET and mine has issues because i bought as a "shell" with just case, motherboard, and screen, had issues with speakers, touchpad, but that hopefully will be solved with new palmrest on order. Besides that its lvds so stuck on gpu options, Get a normal m6800 edp so you can have more options. Touch screen itself works beautifully, although it does introduce some fuzz, and will need calibrating because color is weird.

    Does anyone know if the M6800 can be upgraded to a 120Hz screen, or higher than 1080P panel with the eDP model? As well, can you use the iGPU with eDP enabled?

    No, it's either four channel LVDS/40pins or two channel eDP/30pins and both of them are capped to 1080/60Hz
