This problem would add complexity which I would tackle. I would like to
either detect which model the user has or ask the user. The larger issue
would be testing on different models. And also, you are incorrect, the 900
has a celeron and the 901 has an Atom.

I do think it would take more than a week, but I agree it would not likely
take three months. Any suggestions regarding how this could be expanded to
take more time?

Yes, the architecture is x86.
