Re:AMD doubles the number of CPU cores it offers to Chromebooks by spicybright on Saturday May 07, 2022 @01:11PM (#31296486)
I still really miss my dell mini laptop. It fit my small hands well and was easily lighter than a book.

I used to throw it into one of those mini fashion backpacks and bike to the park to write a bit of code on nice days.

Not much fear of breaking it because it was so cheap. Had external batteries too which I sometimes brought an extra of to swap out (which actually sounds crazy compared to how most laptops are now a days)

It still does the job quite well, naturally I took advantage of being able to expand it to 8 GB and replacing the HDD with a SSD one.

And despite my Linux vs Windows posts, it is actually Linux based, and was bought that way, also a proof that even that didn't help when regarding some common Linux Desktop themes.

Anyway, it has served me well during my travels, like you I am used to take it everywhere.

When it finally dies, it is going to be quite hard to find a good replacement that takes over similar responsibility.
