A 12 ounce soft drink aluminium beverage can is included in the picture to give the viewer a sense of this computer's small size.

Notes on taking of photo
- This picture is isn't a mock-up; the computer was really connected to the internet and viewing the Wikipedia web page with Dillo when this picture was taken.
- This photo was taken with a 35mm-equivalent focal length of roughly 36mm (somewhat wide angle). The night shot mode was enabled, and the built-in flash was disabled. In order to make the contents of the screen more visible, and to minimize camera shake (no tripod was used), the exposure was made one stop darker.
- The image was color-corrected in the GIMP to compensate for the lighting, which had a distinct warm tint to it. In more detail, the blues were made brighter. Additionally, the screen of the laptop was made darker since the image on the screen was a lot brighter than the rest of the picture. The entire picture was then made brighter. Finally, a noise reduction filter was applied to just the blue tones.
