    Unless you want to use your external display as power supply and usb hub at the same time with just one cable. Some of us do work in actual offices and not in some coffee shops dow…

    So? These days a lot of coding is less resource intensive than browsing. And like another commenter said, not every "Pro" user is a developer. I for one just take the Pro as meanin…

    I do not get this comment. Why would a "pro" user try to use the Pro as a Laptop replacement? Rather think of a regular consumer, of which there are a lot more. Just doing a bit of…

    I've seldomly seen a PhD student in CS here in Germany with a proper software engineering background. I know several that use Dropbox for version control on their code and don't kn…

    To add one more: Germany, Hannover Roughly two years out of university, but worked part time all the time and took a while to finish my master in CS. Lots of knowledge in ML and DL…

    That is actually not too far of from what Dell is doing with their SSD prices when you configure a system. Or memory for that matter. So I'm not really sure what all that compariso…

    I've seen very few doctors with Birkenstock here in Germany and several with Crocs. So maybe a local thing? Also, Birkenstock soak up blood rather well. Would not recommend in such…

    Sorry, but for a lot of situations n-grams just don't scale. There are just way too many combinations. There are a lot of people dealing with GBs and TBs of text.

    That is not a viable option for many people working in nature. Farmers, sheperds, folks working in a Zoo, etc. They not have to take antibiotics constantly. The fact that there are…
