sejo's rants

\\//!

The last few weeks I've been looking for a new laptop for SeJo-IT. I had following wishes:

• 13" (not 14" nor 11")
• 4G mem
• 256 ssd
• >=5h battery time
• bluetooth
• wireless
• 1Gb network
• decent CPU (core duo or intel 5/7), no atom nor mobile stuff.

I've researched and contacted (not all though) HP, Dell, Sony, Lenovo, Acer. Basicly Sony does not allow me to build to order, nor does Lenovo. Dell doesn't offer that with a 13" machine and neither does HP. Acer doesn't offer it neither.

I've been known to always want Apple machines, well I really did my best to find one that wasn't apple. The closest I got was a Vaio z series, but those have 4x64G ssd and you need a software raid to get a bigger disk.. (not doing that!).

I had 2 options:

1. buy the laptop I wanted (apple did offer it)
2. lower my standards

I bought a Macbook pro... I hope I explained myself well enough for all you Open Source Zealots who think I am in an alliance with the devil... *grin*

llap!
