| mutantturkey | jedijf: any opinion on system76? | 01:09 |
| rmg51 | Teddy has one of their laptops | 01:34 |
| mutantturkey | any idea if it is well suited? | 01:39 |
| mutantturkey | I mean they look nice enough, I am not sold on the stats though, | 01:40 |
| mutantturkey | 699 for a shitty i3 is just not worth it. | 01:40 |
| * mutantturkey grabs the swear-jar | 01:40 | |
| jedijf | mutantturkey: it depends on circumstance, but i do believe that you can get more with mainstream deals and installing yourself | 01:46 |
| rmg51 | then you don't want to here the stats on Teddy's :-D | 01:46 |
| mutantturkey | jedijf: hmmm, I have 800+ dollars. any suggestions? | 01:46 |
| mutantturkey | also, o/ havent been around in forever. working 2 jobs and going to school | 01:47 |
| rmg51 | save save save | 01:47 |
| mutantturkey | rmg51: I have saved, I need a laptop for work | 01:47 |
| jedijf | mutantturkey: np, work and school is good. my theory is always get the most for the buck...i have no brand preferences | 01:47 |
| rmg51 | you may want to look at zareason as well | 01:48 |
| mutantturkey | jedijf: also, I don't want to pay 100+ EXTRA for windows I wont use.. | 01:48 |
| mutantturkey | also, the system 76 lappys look very "mac" ish, meaning, simple, and cleanly designed | 01:48 |
| mutantturkey | I am sick of flashy crappy laptops made from cheap materials, I want a damn nice case. | 01:49 |

| mutantturkey | jedijf: I have gotten alot of reccomendations for the stinkpads | 01:50 |
| mikedep334 | just keep in mind that ubuntu compatibility is hard to find for the average computer | 01:50 |
| jedijf | mutantturkey: nad what waltman said | 01:50 |
| mikedep334 | *is hard to find out | 01:50 |
| mikedep334 | do know 2 things | 01:50 |
| mutantturkey | mikedep334: I don't use ubuntu :p | 01:50 |
| mutantturkey | but anyway, here is my rule: stick with intel internals, and you'll be fine. | 01:51 |
| mikedep334 | 1, core i3, i5 & i7 CPU models with 4 digits, like 2310, 2410, 2630QM are all the latest series of intel chips | 01:51 |
| mikedep334 | with much better graphics for one thing | 01:51 |
| mikedep334 | the older models are like 650, 480M, etc | 01:52 |
| mutantturkey | mikedep334: yeah, that's what I am going for | 01:52 |
| mikedep334 | also | 01:52 |
| mutantturkey | probably an i5 or some such. | 01:52 |
| mikedep334 | AMD's fusion process are coming out anyday now | 01:52 |
| mikedep334 | but if you do go with a the very latest models, linux compatibility may not be as good | 01:52 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, do you use windows? | 01:52 |
| mutantturkey | mikedep334: arch linux | 01:57 |
| mutantturkey | mikedep334: yeah, but it will still be good. | 01:57 |
| mutantturkey | I have an atom330 right now... | 01:57 |
| mutantturkey | anything is better | 01:57 |
| mikedep334 | one thing though | 02:00 |
| mikedep334 | if your distro is like Ubuntu and includes proprietary firmware modules | 02:00 |
| mikedep334 | intel wi-fi is well supported | 02:00 |
| mikedep334 | Intel graphics also works the best under linux, but you will need a new Xorg, mesa, kernel, etc for the new intel core i3/i5/i7 #### series graphics (the "Sandy Bridge" platform/CPU's) | 02:01 |
| mutantturkey | what do you mean a new Xorg? | 02:02 |
| mikedep334 | I'm pretty sure Ubuntu users have to use Ubuntu 11.04 for that, or install messy PPA's on 10.10 | 02:02 |
| mutantturkey | archlinux is rolling release :) we literally use anything upstream. | 02:02 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, ahh, right! | 02:02 |
| mutantturkey | the second upstream releases we pull it. | 02:02 |
| mutantturkey | so basically that means we don't have to deal with bugs | 02:02 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, without applying any patches? | 02:02 |
| mutantturkey | because It's all upstreams fault :) | 02:02 |
| mutantturkey | we try to not. | 02:02 |
| mutantturkey | the less patches the better, mostly we are ok without thme | 02:02 |
| mikedep334 | cool | 02:02 |
| mutantturkey | anything old we drop, so no patches | 02:02 |
| mutantturkey | we already dropped gnome 2.x | 02:03 |

| mutantturkey | again, we can outdoo any regular distro | 02:04 |
| mutantturkey | because whever anything happens upstream we have minimal lag time | 02:05 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, enjoy doing that :) | 02:05 |
| mutantturkey | I will admit, the lack of package signing is a bit urksome, | 02:05 |
| mutantturkey | but other than that it is good. | 02:05 |
| mikedep334 | I actually do want to try either gentoo or arch sometime soon | 02:05 |
| mutantturkey | I am really wanting to try out the latest ubu though, I hear it's cleaned up alot | 02:05 |
| mikedep334 | mostly for the rolling release system | 02:05 |
| mutantturkey | mikedep334: i suggest arch, great community. | 02:05 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, yeah | 02:06 |
| mutantturkey | mikedep334: again though, for servers and stuff, I still use debian or ubuntu | 02:06 |
| mikedep334 | but I want to compile stuff on my quad-core core i5 | 02:06 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, right, rolling release isn't as good for servers | 02:06 |
| mutantturkey | though I swear it is... because we get all the latest security fixes :) | 02:06 |
| jedijf | debian is the server best....old and tested.... | 02:07 |
| mikedep334 | yeah | 02:07 |
| jedijf | Suy breakage is too risky | 02:07 |
| mutantturkey | jedijf: i hear they are going rolling release | 02:08 |
| jedijf | seeing is believing | 02:08 |
| mutantturkey | right. | 02:08 |
| mutantturkey | anyway hmmmm what to pick for a laptop! | 02:08 |
| jedijf | lenova....you don't neeed all the flash and hoopla, | 02:09 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, what size/weight were you thinking of? | 02:09 |
| mutantturkey | mikedep334: no idea | 02:09 |
| mutantturkey | 13.3 inch probably | 02:09 |
| mutantturkey | max battery | 02:09 |
| mutantturkey | doesn't matter. | 02:09 |
| mikedep334 | ahh | 02:09 |
| mutantturkey | jedijf: i also want it to hold up well, do they? | 02:09 |

| mutantturkey | do you think i should get one? | 02:16 |
| mikedep334 | although I'm not sure about the microsoftstore.com model | 02:16 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, do more research | 02:16 |
| mikedep334 | and price shopping | 02:16 |

| jedijf | mutantturkey: newegg has a lenovo i7 for 800 | 02:17 |
| mikedep334 | and make what you can out of the hardware specs | 02:17 |
| mikedep334 | just keep in mind | 02:17 |
| mikedep334 | rarely do you find a laptop with a powerful process at only 3.2 lbs | 02:17 |
| mikedep334 | and good battery life | 02:17 |
| mutantturkey | jedijf: link? | 02:18 |
| mutantturkey | mikedep334: how good? 8+? | 02:18 |
| mikedep334 | ok, looks like microsoftstore.com is selling the R835-p55x, not the R835-p65x | 02:19 |
| mikedep334 | reportedly, upto 9 hours | 02:19 |
| mikedep334 | lets check the cnet review | 02:19 |

| mikedep334 | "The biggest surprise is the vastly improved battery life, topping 7 hours, and beating even the 13-inch MacBook Pro" | 02:21 |
| mikedep334 | yeah, for a 13.3" laptop or a 3.2 lb laptop to have a regular laptop powerful processor (eg, not a ULV (Ultra-Low-Voltage)) CPU and get 7 hours of battery life is unheard of | 02:22 |
| mikedep334 | it even has a dvd burner too | 02:23 |
| mikedep334 | just read the user reviews | 02:23 |
| mikedep334 | on amazon or cnet.com | 02:23 |
| mikedep334 | only thing missing is bluetooth | 02:24 |
| mikedep334 | oh, the 3 different types of USB ports is really nice | 02:24 |

| mikedep334 | jedijf, yeah, that's good if you want a powerhouse, even though it will only get upto 2 to 2.5 hours of real world battery life | 02:25 |
| mikedep334 | the toshiba portege R835 is meant to be a different type of laptop | 02:26 |
| mikedep334 | eg, it's 5.95 lbs | 02:26 |
| mikedep334 | it's also much better at gaming | 02:26 |
| mutantturkey | I don't game | 02:27 |
| mutantturkey | I don't like hot craptops | 02:27 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, every quad-core core i7 laptop I believe has to have dedicated graphics | 02:27 |
| mutantturkey | I don't want a desktop.... I want a laptop. | 02:28 |
| mikedep334 | so they almost always have better graphics | 02:28 |
| mikedep334 | yeah | 02:28 |
| jedijf | mutantturkey: i would go to microcenter and 'feel' different brands so you have an idea what to expect even if you online a different model | 02:28 |
| mutantturkey | if i wanted a quad core, i would get a desktop | 02:28 |
| mikedep334 | that ideapad is a true "desktop replacement" | 02:28 |
| mutantturkey | jedijf: you are a microcenter fan too? my friend raves about them | 02:28 |
| jedijf | mutantturkey: best thing evar | 02:28 |
| jedijf | and they sell bawls | 02:28 |
| jedijf | and caffeinated candy bars | 02:29 |
| mutantturkey | oh shucks | 02:29 |
| mutantturkey | better go there | 02:29 |
| mutantturkey | are the clocks relevant anymore? | 02:29 |
| jedijf | 476 south--villanova exit---left at the bottom of ramp - left at 2nd light | 02:29 |
| mutantturkey | villanova? nice. | 02:30 |
| mutantturkey | probably will head up this weekend | 02:30 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, the best buy at KoP, next to the mall, has the best buy variant of the toshiba R835 | 02:30 |
| mikedep334 | they also have TONS of laptops | 02:30 |
| mikedep334 | in general | 02:30 |
| mutantturkey | I don't like best buy | 02:31 |
| mutantturkey | call me crazy, call me what you will. But I HATE it there. | 02:31 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, ok, fair enough | 02:31 |
| jedijf | use them to see/feel product | 02:31 |
| mutantturkey | I go in asking a few technical questions, they pretend like I don't know what I am looking for. | 02:31 |
| jedijf | and then get a gino giant | 02:31 |
| mutantturkey | "oh you must be looking for a $9000 laptop" | 02:31 |
| mutantturkey | mikedep334: what do you think of the i5's? | 02:31 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, like 67% of the laptops at best buy are under $500 | 02:32 |
| jedijf | rmg51: you have an i7 right? | 02:32 |
| rmg51 | yep | 02:32 |
| mikedep334 | I have a quad-core core i5 in my desktop | 02:32 |
| rmg51 | 720m | 02:32 |
| mikedep334 | the 1st gen of them | 02:32 |
| mikedep334 | the i5-750 | 02:32 |
| mikedep334 | I love it | 02:32 |
| mikedep334 | but the sandy bridge models are a large improvement for the dual core variants | 02:33 |
| mikedep334 | and the amount of performance they offer per mhz/core is huge | 02:34 |
| mikedep334 | also | 02:34 |
| mutantturkey | so I should get one of the newer ones? | 02:34 |
| mikedep334 | i5's have "turboboost" | 02:34 |
| mutantturkey | DUMB. | 02:34 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, assuming it will run ArchLinux well, yes | 02:34 |
| jedijf | mutantturkey: too nice hardware may conflict with the "Arch Way".... | 02:34 |
| mutantturkey | jedijf: not suprisingly, I find that most of them use relatively poweful hardware | 02:35 |
| mikedep334 | when only 1 core is in use, it overclocks it | 02:35 |
| * jedijf checks the credo | 02:35 | |
| mutantturkey | the Arch way, while nice in concept boils down to one this "It better just damned work, however I want it" | 02:35 |
| mutantturkey | mikedep334: yeah, most stuff is written for multicore anyways in linux | 02:35 |
| mikedep334 | yeah | 02:36 |
| mikedep334 | also | 02:36 |
| mikedep334 | the dual-core core i5's always have "hyper-threading" | 02:36 |
| mutantturkey | anyway my parents are getting me a laptop for college, so they said 800 bucks + anything i can add on, and that's my christmas and birthday. | 02:36 |
| mutantturkey | mikedep334: hyperthreading. LOL | 02:36 |
| mutantturkey | well actually, on my intel atom it's like a 20% performance boost when i use it | 02:36 |
| mikedep334 | mutantturkey, yup | 02:37 |
| mikedep334 | I compiled a kernel on my fraternity brother's netbook | 02:37 |
| mikedep334 | it was like 20% faster | 02:37 |
| mikedep334 | with make -j2 | 02:37 |
| mutantturkey | yeah exactly. | 02:37 |
| mutantturkey | use -j4 | 02:37 |
| mutantturkey | why -j2? | 02:37 |
| mutantturkey | or -j3 | 02:37 |
| mikedep334 | his netbook only had 1 physical core | 02:37 |
| mikedep334 | -j2 offered about the same performance as -j3 | 02:38 |
| mutantturkey | oh. | 02:38 |
| mikedep334 | it was hard to tell | 02:38 |
| mutantturkey | mine is a desktop 330 | 02:38 |
| mutantturkey | so i have dual + ht | 02:38 |
| mutantturkey | i do -j3 so I have one core to browse+ music whatever. | 02:38 |
| mikedep334 | reportedly you should use 1 more job than logical cores you have | 02:38 |
| mikedep334 | some say to even use twice as many jobs | 02:38 |
| mutantturkey | oh really? | 02:39 |
| mutantturkey | I always heard, one less than. | 02:39 |
| mikedep334 | at least the number of cores you have | 02:39 |
| mutantturkey | anyway, on an Atom, it's all a joke. | 02:39 |
| jedijf | mutantturkey: where you going to college? | 02:39 |
| mutantturkey | but, compile the kernel in a ramfs and that's a nice speedup | 02:39 |
| mikedep334 | an easy benchmark is the linux kernel with "allnoconfig" | 02:39 |
| mutantturkey | jedijf: montco still for now, but I am getting a job at drexel working for a professor for a comp sci project all summer | 02:40 |
| mutantturkey | montco again till the spring, then temple in the fall probably. | 02:40 |
| mikedep334 | that way it compiles a more reasonable amount of the kernel | 02:40 |
| jedijf | mutantturkey: nice | 02:40 |
| mutantturkey | mikedep334: I have an extensivly modified kernel | 02:41 |
| mutantturkey | no autoload modules or anything, | 02:41 |
| mutantturkey | autoload is dumb. | 02:41 |
| mutantturkey | I mean, it's nice, except that It re-figures out what you have every time | 02:41 |
| mutantturkey | they should cache it, then if you have some new hardware, you can manually load it. | 02:41 |
| mutantturkey | the overhead is a few seconds of wasted life | 02:41 |
| mikedep334 | yeah | 02:42 |
| mutantturkey | anyway. | 02:42 |
| mutantturkey | jedijf: yeah I am pretty psyched except ridiculously busy. | 02:42 |
| jedijf | mutantturkey: welcome to adulthood | 02:43 |
| jedijf | 'ish | 02:43 |
| mutantturkey | so that's going to be 2 jobs, both with like 25+ hours a week, then going to school (summer semster) + music and stuff + girlfriend. | 02:43 |
| mutantturkey | fml. | 02:43 |
| jedijf | mutantturkey: i would use next weekend to go to kop best buy and microcenter just to get a feel for what hardware is out there...the builds, the kb's ...the 'feel' stuff , then research online | 02:44 |
| mutantturkey | are there any aluminum cases for laptops? like mac's or anything | 02:45 |
| mutantturkey_ | dumb dunkin wifi.... | 02:47 |
| mutantturkey_ | jedijf: yeah I just need to get a feel for it | 02:48 |
| jedijf | mutantturkey_: one of my hangups with 'real' laptops is the touchpad landing area...i seem to prefer the netbook form factor of that layout | 02:49 |
| jedijf | so, take your time...you end up living with it for a while | 02:50 |
| mutantturkey_ | I am not crazy about touch pads, I am oriented towards keyboard | 02:50 |
| jedijf | i think that's why i love the old tp's...the eraserhead | 02:52 |
| jedijf | no touchpads | 02:52 |
| mutantturkey_ | eraserheads <3 | 02:52 |
| jedijf | after all that...almost every dev I know is macbook'd up | 02:56 |
| mutantturkey_ | blech | 02:57 |
| jedijf | just sayin'..you may want to throw 200 into it and get where you're gonna end up eventually anyway | 02:57 |
| mutantturkey_ | I Looked at it seriously | 02:57 |
| mutantturkey_ | I know, but I love linux | 02:57 |
| mutantturkey_ | how is dual booting on it? | 02:57 |
| jedijf | https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/MacBook | 02:57 |
| PennBot | Title: MacBook - ArchWiki (at wiki.archlinux.org) | 02:57 |
| mutantturkey_ | also they are 1) not powerful 2) way to expensive for what you get 3) hipster | 02:57 |
| mutantturkey_ | I mean that looks legit | 02:58 |
| mutantturkey_ | the price is not justified. | 02:58 |
| jedijf | microcenter has them..look and keep an open mind | 02:58 |
| jedijf | it is uncanny how, like i said, everyone is suing them | 02:58 |
| jedijf | s/suing/using | 02:58 |
| mutantturkey_ | I will take a look and such. | 02:58 |
| jedijf | me and freud..linux forever | 02:59 |
| mutantturkey_ | I am a linux guy also, you know that. | 02:59 |
| mutantturkey_ | mac's hardware is nicely laid out, i wish other vendors would switch to similar styles | 02:59 |
| jedijf | i think the variation in price is justified by the level of service available to you... | 03:01 |
| mutantturkey_ | do you think? | 03:01 |
| jedijf | have to give the devil his due | 03:01 |
| mutantturkey_ | also for the fact that I am strongly interested in audio production | 03:01 |
| mutantturkey_ | how is the mac hardware though? | 03:02 |
| jedijf | they go to those apple stores and always leave satisfied | 03:02 |
| jedijf | we always say they're underpowered, but in the end, they perform | 03:02 |
| jedijf | andrew: you around? your opinion would be appreciated | 03:03 |
| mutantturkey_ | I am also looking for a laptop that will last | 03:06 |
| mutantturkey_ | I do not get the impression with macs... | 03:06 |
| mutantturkey_ | I feel like they get dated very quickly | 03:06 |
| jedijf | i just wanted to be fair....ultimately, all of your personal factors will be part of this decision, but you should give it a look, even if only for research | 03:10 |
| mutantturkey_ | right of course | 03:10 |
| jedijf | yeah, the last dev i polled is a mac user too....it's 100% | 03:12 |
| jedijf | 22:04 <@jedijf> erikh: you use a mac? | 03:13 |
| jedijf | 22:10 < erikh> yessir | 03:13 |
| mutantturkey_ | haha | 03:13 |
| jedijf | runy guy ^^^^ | 03:13 |
| jedijf | ruby | 03:13 |
| jedijf | arch user too | 03:13 |
| mutantturkey_ | exactly | 03:13 |
| mutantturkey_ | I say 75% of arch users are devs, or mess around with coding. | 03:13 |
| jedijf | i almost pulled the mac trigger(again) a couple of months ago | 03:14 |
| * jedijf stares at iBook in the corner | 03:15 | |
| jedijf | hmm.....http://www.archlinuxppc.org/ | 03:16 |
| PennBot | Title: Arch Linux PPC (at www.archlinuxppc.org) | 03:16 |
| jedijf | time to sleep....good luck searching...whatever you decide will be great; it'll be *new* | 03:18 |
| mutantturkey_ | goodnight. | 03:23 |
