Slightly OT, but since when is 8gb of ram plus an SSD plus a quad core machine "dinky"?
- bdon 13y agoHm, I was comparing it to a typical workstation machine in terms of raw specs - this is my personal laptop :)
- merlincorey 13y agoWhen your production machines have 32GB of RAM, dual SSDs for OS and caching, dual terabyte drives for data, and dual octocore processors.

- CitizenKane 13y agoThe core i5 is a ULV part and it's dual core. Not quad core. Comparatively speaking it is a little bit "dinky" versus desktop parts. I run a Mac Mini with a quad core i7 and 16GB of RAM. Beyond that consideration, desktop parts are almost always under less thermal stress then those on a laptop and can typically run at higher clocks.
