Re: Sputnik – Dell’s Ubuntu-based developer laptop is here
#3Despite being a mac user now, I am so happy to see a high-end product optimized for a linux distribution. During the 7 years I used linux as my daily driver, I would have killed for a well integrated, high-end mobile machine.
I don't plan to move away from macs anytime soon, but I still rejoice when the platform makes progress. I'm already hearing whispers from developers that plan to support Steam's linux client which seems unbelievable to me- this was unthinkable just a couple years ago. I hope this window of opportunity stays open long enough for a viable pc/windows alternative to take foot.

#7This is a great day for Ubuntu. The first Ubuntu is served on a top of the line product - not on cheap low end hardware. The Sputnik is even more expensive than the Win8 version
It's saying: Ubuntu, because it's better, not cheaper.

#8Developers have been complaining about the 1366x768 screen resolution in the Ars comments. Shouldn't developers be designing for (and on) the resolution the user is most likely be using?[1]

I work on backend Linux systems, as do a huge percentage of Linux devs. Other people's screen resolution is irrelevant to me.

In 2012 most UIs are html driven and not native apps anymore that have been designed to fit some mostly used resolutions.
