Does it run Linux?

This time it is actually appropriate.
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.
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.
