I think the difference in time is probably due to FHD vs. touch screen

Was it worth it getting the 16GB of RAM? I'm thinking of getting the same myself.

Re:Ask HN: Best current Linux-compatible laptop? on Friday May 02, 2014 @01:01PM (#7686830)
I agree. I've used both vmware and virtualbox, and they both provide good options to running linux under windows. Since most of my linux work is server type work, it works out pretty well.
Re:Ask HN: What is your development setup? on Sunday February 16, 2014 @12:29PM (#7248367)
I just chose it because our client uses RHEL and I was curious. Could have just as easily chosen CentOS. Sorry if that disappoints, but hopefully you'll get to work for whatever organization you're thinking of :)
Re:Ask HN: What is your development setup? on Sunday February 16, 2014 @12:08PM (#7248287)
Alienware m11xR2, windows 8.1/scientific Linux, Emacs, Python, Visual Studio 2010 C++, Boost, svn, php, perl
Re:Ask HN: Let's predict. What's your prediction for 2014? on Monday December 23, 2013 @09:55AM (#6954522)
My prediction is that I will buy a new laptop, probably a MacBook Pro 13 retina. :)
Re:The future Firefox UI on Monday August 01, 2011 @12:33PM (#2833022)
Seems much cleaner. They should do a comparison of how much screen space is used by the chrome vs. other browsers. Can't wait for this to high the nightly / dev builds.
A newer better interface... the feed is too hard to read. A native application for your choice of OS would be nice too.

I'm sure the poster meant Canonical the parent company of Ubuntu.

And then convince Blizzard to port a native version of starcraft 2 to Linux...
Re:WWDC 1997 Video: Steve Jobs Handles A Public Insult on Wednesday June 08, 2011 @10:24PM (#2635724)
Jobs talks about engineering management. Seems like the perfect explanation for what might be going wrong at other companies such as Microsoft, or even Google.
Re:Apple to unveil iCloud Monday, June 6 on Tuesday May 31, 2011 @11:20AM (#2602916)
I don't get it, why so much excitement over a cloud service? Lion or iOS 5 I understand, but a cloud service?

Re:Linux 2.8.0? on Monday May 23, 2011 @06:18PM (#2577825)
As if an IT Drone will look at the kernel version numbers! They are probably just going to install whatever RHEL or SuSE gives them.
Re:Linux 2.8.0? on Monday May 23, 2011 @06:15PM (#2577811)
So 2.8.0 is not really going to be a feature release? Seems strange.
Re:Firefox 6.0 alpha available on Thursday April 14, 2011 @11:24AM (#2447161)
what happened to 5.0? Are they doing 6.0 and 5.0 in parallel?
