That will be an issue for sure.  The PA images are for the 2012 model, and due 
to the way the ARM world works, it is highly doubtful that the 2012 image 
would ever work for the 2013 model (At the very least, the GPU drivers are 
different, along with different CPU manufactures.  That will break things).  
Of course, if someone wants to add support/build an image for the 2013 model 
(in theory) it should be able to run PA.
