it's also completely illegal, but doing anything about it would be a pyrrhic victory at this point - we can't go out and interview for new jobs when the whole state is on lockdown. definitely have it better than many, but it'

after using larger machines I realized that laptops (for me) are for situations where a desktop is unavailable - airline seating, casual couch use, all generally things that don't require much. having recently acquired some P53s at w

my initial reaction is that it's a hefty price to pay for a lightly modded x230, but not everyone wants or is able to do these mods themselves. I'm surprised nobody is going so far as to do the other common mods (1920x1080 IPS, x2

if you're not already aware, swapping the X220 keyboard (and palmrest) onto an X230 is a fairly straightforward swap. That modification plus the FHD mod and accompanying 1920x1080 IPS make the X230 a very nice daily driver.

it's not just that, they're generally rated for 24/7 usage and feature much higher build quality - often with ultra thin bezels to allow them to be used in tiled arrangements. whether that usage rating is related to any actua

Another company using this model very effectively is Derivative, makers of Touchdesigner. Licenses are sold at an initial price that includes a year of updates. Once that year expires, the newest version (old versions are kept available o

Without taking a position on future possibilities I think your point misses half the truth - if solo developers can create what we now consider to be AAA-quality games, the bar will raise. Consider the incredible tools at anyone's dis
