I use an 8 year old laptop. Quite capable for wasting time on HN and reddit. Oh, and pretty much every web app out there...

Out of curiosity, what's the model # and specs?

I successfully used my X31 for the entire week at OSCON. With so many Mac Pros and T430s around, I got a lot of stares when I whipped out this 12" 4:3 piece of history.

People brought T430s to OSCON? The keyboard layout alone should be enough to disqualify the __30 series :(

What's wrong with the keyboard? It's different, but all the reviews I've read have grudgingly admitted that it's actually better (or at least just as good) as the old keyboard.

I'm having huge issues getting over the layout (no space between F key groups, home/end/pgup/pgdown block broken up). I haven't typed on one, admittedly.
