So in 7 years, we've added 86 pixels and gotten bigger and heaver. I'm not sure if the X1 laptop was revolutionary, or laptops just haven't gotten that much better. Certainly the X1 was the best investment I've ever made; with a SSD upgrade it's still going strong!
- PhrosTT 15y agoI'm waiting for the Asus UX31 to drop to about $700. Unless the new Pro/Airs with 2000 by 1500ish rez are closer to $1000 than $2000. They have a 1600x900 screen resolution. This is the most important spec for me. Everytime I see 1366x768 I cringe to imagine what an Eclipse Debug perspective would look like on that. Hey look "3 lines of code and 2 variables are viewable at the same time!"
- delsarto 15y agoYeah, I was quite interested in them too. However, my worry is that initial Linux support with all the new parts would be a PITA. When I got the X1 7 years ago, I was a student and patching kernels and poking around various wiki-pages to get various things working was fun. Now I'm in the old and boring "just want it to work" camp :)
