Chromebook and SSH into a REAL computer ;)
on a serious note, look at Aorus X5, I like the RGB keyboard. you can get it to colour the keys based on context. could be a nice alternative to the overpriced touchscreen of the new macbooks.
- Gracana 10y ago> Chromebook and SSH into a REAL computer ;) These threads have surprised me, because I figured most developers (or at least the web-focused ones that seem to be common on HN) would only need a browser and a shell. Instead, there is talk of needing 32GB of RAM. Wow.
- NetStrikeForce 10y agoNot everyone is a web dev :)
- Gracana 10y agoGood. But there are a lot of developers whose work could be done on a remote machine, and I wonder if those people still prefer to work locally, and if so... why? It's entirely possible that the complaints/calls for beast-machines don't come from any of those people at all.
- jlebrech 10y agoI think there's a market for a localised CI machine or localised dev server that developers can log into which is beefy enough to do tasks at fractions of the time a devs machine would run at. Ideally it could have and IDE that runs on the server designed for collaboration.
- raarts 10y agoOne use case is you do work onsite and there's no Internet. Like defence industry or you work on ships.
