Final laptop, ultimate laptop or neither?
Jeff Atwood has
an interesting post
today where he says his current laptop may be the last
one he buys. The argument is that
tablets are a better option
now, with longer battery life, less lap overheating, and
a nicer form factor. But well, tablets are not for me. I
always need a keyboard, a full version of Windows, I
rarely need to run on the battery for very long, and the
tablet form factor just doesn’t work for me. I like my
screen to stand on its own, even on my lap, and having a
separated keyboard is just clumsy. The surface looks
like an interesting compromise, but the lack of a robust
hinge makes it a no-go for me. Also, I want a single
machine that works for everything I do.

even say that they have been defining the large-scale
features of the landscape in question.
