I'm one of the programmers to whom this laptop is just perfect. Common hardware that's well supported on almost any platform, good reliability, excellent keyboard and, IIRC, a clit mouse, which I would prefer over the fanciest of touchpads. And not just because it superficially looks like a clit.
Most of my work revolves around programming devices with no more than a couple of megabytes of RAM, most often with no more than a couple of kilobytes. A MBP is far, far more powerful than what I need.
- reirob 13y agoFully agree, not to forget the screen ratio of 3:4 which cannot be found any-more! This together with the excellent keyboard and the trackpoint are me is THE criteria for a developper laptop. Just ordered one ;)
- weland 13y agoAye, I don't get all this widescreen crap either.
- redthrowaway 13y agoI far prefer to have half the screen devoted to my editor and the other to my browser/docs/terminal/etc. Makes things way more convenient.
- iconjack 13y agoTheir page says you can get a US keyboard layout but I can't figure out how to order one like that. I could live with the UK layout if it weren't for that key in between the Z and left-shift.
