1197851 2011-04-28 04:34:00 What about Intel and Nvidia graphics (i.e. Optimus)? :D

Nope. I don't like such gimmickry and even if I did it's not supported under linux.

You beat me to it - that's the first thing that came into my mind when I saw the question. Must be an age thing!

I ask myself why would anyone possibly want that?

No mention of battery life, but I suspect 40 minutes might be a tad over-optimistic... :D

4 KG? Pah.

It's open-source as well, isn't it?


I'd expect a laptop to be able to do everything a desktop can do, with the exception of 3d games.

Not interested in weight, a steal beam is heavy, a bag of cement is able to be carried with no drama, laptops aren't heavy.

If you cant handle 2kg then you're a pussy.

Right on, M Man! :clap

1197860 2011-04-28 09:19:00 I prefer a mobile powerhouse.

I agree there's no point in having 8Gb of RAM for taking notes, but it might help when juggling 3 VM's and running apache and mysql, while transcoding video.

That's the point of variety, there's no single laptop that will cover all bases for all people. Some people only need a netbook, others like a full i7 tower, crammed into a laptop size.
