That's on the input side, but what about the output? You can't compile and run an app on your mobile phone yet.

Thanks for signing up. We're part of the Lenovo Partner network and are making a deal with them to buy in bulk. We don't want to sell overpriced machines like Emperor Linux (an equal spec T420 costs $1430 on Emperor vs $859 on Lenovo!).

The trouble with Dell laptops is that the quality variance is really high. Mostly anecdotally speaking, I've found that the number of people who had a terrible experience with Dell and the number who had a good one are about equal. The most

You're right. I'll look into it and see if there's an easy way to switch sides now without breaking anything.

Thanks for signing up! We want to build the best computers for programmers at the best price with the OS most programmers run on their servers and dev machines anyway. All the issues you mention and others relating to graphics continue to e

We are signed up. However, Amazon takes a significant cut and we want to keep our prices low.

Apparently, it's against Ubuntu's broader design goals, which require the launcher always close to the Ubuntu button: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/668415/comments/2 There are some unofficial plugins which allow you to do it, but

We're not doing our own brand machines (not yet ;-). Are you after any specific ultrabook already on the market? Frankly, we are not keen on any of them and find them quite poorly built for the price. The Macbook Airs are much better. We're

What machine (and config) are you using?

by revorad 15y ago
You're right. We're working on putting up the product details, but don't want to mislead people before we know for sure what we are able to offer. I only mentioned it here because I know people here would be really interested (and the signu

I totally understand. It's frickin' 2012 and I can't stand the fact that we can't do that. We want to sell via as many channels as possible, including Amazon. This is a tiny first step towards making a new computer company. Just need some l

Is the OS going to be Android? If you actually pull this off, I'll buy two.

I would love such a device. But how does your screen expand? Does it fold or slide out? How bulky is the device in phone mode?

Do you use an external keyboard? Which one? Do you carry it around with you?

The hardware spec will be better - SSDs, maxed out RAM - and at a better price than Lenovo offers. The machines will be fully tested to make sure important things like graphics work well, battery life is maintained and suspend/wake works re

We're a startup based in the UK, soon going to start selling Thinkpads (X121e, possibly X220) with Linux pre-installed and fully tested (Ubuntu/Debian/Arch). We'll ship to anywhere in Europe and are also looking at shipping to the USA and o

I'm working on modding some Thinkpads (X61, X121e, possibly X220 if the price works out) and selling them with Ubuntu pre-installed and fully tested. If anyone's interested, please sign up here - http://giniji.com/ubuntu_laptops.html .

Congrats! You guys are based in London, but I'm guessing you could go on Kickstarter because you have a company registered in the US?

I don't mean to be that guy, but you are not really adding anything to the discussion.

This is great. I've had something like this (probably even simpler) in my mind for a while, but never get around to making it. Dustin, I just emailed you with a name suggestion.

That's very interesting. What specifically are you drawn to? Is it someone else's code you saw or the feeling you got when you first automated something? Or is it the theoretical aspects of computing?

Why do you want to learn to code so badly?

I use Instapaper. I know it's not for bookmarking but I already use it for saving articles and can't be bothered to use something else for other types of links.

More power to you Sir! I really hope you will do a good job with the Search functionality, which I find quite bad on most job sites.
