But then you loose the USB port. But the main problem of USB adapters is that they don't like being unplugged and plugged back which happens quite frequently with a laptop. With a real port connectivity is pretty much instantaneous. I used USB adapters for a while on a MacBook pro and came to the conclusion that I will never ever buy a laptop without ethernet ports. What I wonder is why they don't come up with a mini…

> What I wonder is why they don't come up with a mini-ethernet port format? I suspect that is part of the problem. The plug is just so big - though IMO Thunderbolt and USB adapters work OK. Realise not everyone thinks this way, though. > But the main problem of USB adapters is that they don't like being unplugged and plugged back which happens quite frequently ? That's basically what they're designed for.

When you get enough points (and maybe hasn't been too annoying?) you get downvote privilege. I think the point is to force people to lurk around a while before they can downvote anything.

The point is mostly to make sure people are feeling as part of the community by the time they get downvote privilege, and downvote based on what contributes and what doesn’t.

Wow, this page is a mess - here's an element based breakdown of the switching elements in their presentation: MSFT: - nav 1 - nav 2 - header with what sounds like a call to action, but no button to buy? - hero image with text overlaid that has terrible contrast nobody will read - inter-page menus with some insane zooming function that scared my browser - another hero image - 3 columns - maybe buttons? no not clickabl…

Could be a MBP replacement for developers. The only thing is those of us running on OS X, how is Windows 10? I love my command line and linux like commands and tools. - Homebrew - Bash scripts - Docker (Windows 10 currently not supported) - Vagrant I just feel the tooling for MS isn't in the direction I am. I still have a Windows 7 desktop and it's just not the same.

I'm relatively unfamiliar with ThinkPads and happened to be looking at them yesterday. Here's my problem with ThinkPads (as well as most other Windows laptop vendors): http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/laptops/?menu-id=laptops Which ThinkPad are you talking about? ThinkPad X, ThinkPad T, ThinkPad W, ThinkPad Yoga, ThinkPad E, ThinkPad L, or ThinkPad Helix, or ThinkPad 11E? Let's say we're talking about ThinkPad T.. Which…

I think that complaining about "too much choice" is disingenuous. One of the things I don't like about the Apple eco-system is that there is hardly any choice. Choosing between a tablet and a laptop is not really making a choice. It must be hell for you to by a car...

   * Mazda6L (Our most green Mazda 6)
   * Mazda6 Yoga (Our Mazda 6 that transforms into a Miata)
   * Mazda6W (Our power version)
   * Mazda6T (Our version which includes more gizmos)
   * Mazda6X (Our version which includes even more gizmos)
   * Mazda6 Helix (Our version that's like our Yoga but different)
   * Mazda611E (Our rugged version for teenagers who are careless)
