Does it run Linux?

This time it is actually appropriate.
"But seriously, is that what laptops look like these days?"
Actually... That's what the UK looks like these days... and the rest of the world 10 years ago
Seriously, you geeks just won't be satisfied until all computers look just like seven of nine, geez.
Man, ought to have the party in Sonoma!

And when our computers do look like 7 of 9... Many of us will likely be electrocuted.
1. take the basic case form from 1993, be it laptop or desktop
2. add many small pieces of another shade of grey plastic
3. add many buttons and ports in places that scream "well, the motherboard guys told us that it was *impossible* to put them anywhere else!"
4. complicate simple design features with additional plastic bezels and bezel-bezels.
5. Add LEDs to describe various pieces of information that are either unnecessary or made redundant by the OS.
6. add obligatory windows, intel and graphics card stickers in a conspicous place
7. poke speaker and vent holes everywhere, and call it a day.
Sonoma, soon to cause insomnia.
Sometimes I wish I was a plumber, then I'd know how to deal with other people's shit.
I dont know, one of the Asus ones looked ok. Fine, it was the only white one and looked a lot like an iBook with a built in camera...... mmmmmm.. iBook..
Not the kind of models I was hoping to see... Just some boring laptops....

Don't name your chipsets after a lousy light pickup truck, i.e. the GMC Sonoma. Same as the Chevy S-10 basically.
GMC recently replaced the Sonoma with the much better "Canyon" truck. It even sounds better.
Sonoma = rolling rust heaps.
Sig for hire.
No. It only lasts 3 hours before all the lights go out and it burns your testicles in the process...
