honestly though that’s what i keep telling my co-workers especially if they struggle on a thursday or friday and say things like “i just have to pull through to get to the weekend”. they usually laugh and think i’m kidding, but a bit of reassurance helps.

last i looked at them (some time ago now) they either:

• had very out of date hardware
• were incredibly expensive for what they offered
• the only middle ground model that seemed fitting for my purposes (gaming wouldn’t be on that list but linux indeed) was nowhere to be found.

i should probably have a look at their models again in the near future, thanks for reminding me. are you happy with yours (and willing to share which model you use)

1. remember netbooks? yeah so i would love a 10"-ish laptop (with current hardware) for taking notes etc.

why not use a tablet you might ask? i love the handling of a solid, non-detachable keyboard.

2. also a smartphone that reacts quickly to user input with an OS that doesn’t look like the love child of windows mobile (remember that?) and the first iphones. looking at you iOS18 settings menu (among others)
