Power?
No clue yet have to wait till I get out of work. This thing has been running non-stop for basically two years now hoping it didn't give up the ghost.

/me starts looking for the magic smoke.
-
About to head to St. Louis for the holiday with the Family. Dealing with a user atm before I can go.
-
Working on travel plans. Mostly around luggage.

? are you looking to buy new luggage, or you mean, what to pack?
-
Both, but more specifically, new luggage. Replacing both my and Liesl's backpacks for sure.
-
Putting back together a co-workers Lenovo 11 that had water spilled on it. I let it dry out for a week. Fingers crossed.
-
Also making laptop decisions. My current laptop needs to go to @ataylor14 as it is way too much for my needs. I don't need this much power. And @dominica's laptop is very impractical (it's a Lenovo.) She is looking at moving to a more functional Chromebook rather than that painful and problematic Lenovo disaster. And I just need less, this laptop is way too big for me.

Fingers crossed that the water destroyed it and they can move to something else?

I find I really dislike doing day to day work on a laptop. Perhaps it's that your day to day work isn't coding anymore, so you don't mind the smaller screens, etc.

I was thinking the same thing...
out of curiosity, what laptop do you have now?

I've never been all that bad with smaller screens.

Yeah, it's dead.
It's a shame because they spent a lot of moolah on this thing. (It's a Yoga 11S.) It's a lot of money to be sitting in a scrap heap.
It worked for a while, then fried. I told them next time, turn it right off.
They resurrected their old laptop. I'm going to out a Samsung SSD in there, and I think they'll be fine.

I only have a problem replying to this forum.
If I have a large response to type, I do it in Notepad, then just paste it over.
-
Oh yeah, small screens (low resolution) are a problem here. Especially on Windows. I find that on Linux Mint the issue goes away on the same screen.

It's a Yoga 2 Pro that we are replacing with a $250 Chromebook to get a better computing experience.

They thought they wanted the "yoga" part of it but never really used it.
I actually recommended the $149 option on BF from DELL, but they used the old laptop.
-
Yeah, the Yoga bit is pretty worthless. That's not a slam on Lenovo, people demand the dumbest features that have no purpose. We've never figured out when to use that.
