Yesterday, the 8th, when it was supposed to arrive between the 10th and the 14th.
Loving it so far. It boots up in less than a second!
Even when the normal HDD (for data) has spun down, it takes less than a second to spin up again, so I don't even really notice it (other than than the spinning noise it makes).
I didn't post yesterday as I was getting everything set up.
It's this one[^]

I checked his profile pic; that's an awfully brownish shade of blue.

I honestly hate contacts, so I wear glasses.

Agreed--is he going to describe that machine, or is he the only one privy to this information?
To borrow a meme: Specs or it didn't happen.

Look at his comment history... he posted about it a bit ago.
edit: Nevermind, that was someone else...  ...so, specs or didn't happen OP!

I think we're all making him feel rather self-conscious by now.

He has posted about that laptop before... it's not in his history though.
Maybe the post was deleted or something.

It got voted as spam/abusive. Although I got to it through my history to get the link for this thread, so it was there.

Maybe I just didn't look closely enough...
Sounds like a nice machine though, enjoy!

Oh, a laptop.
Well, I'm not gonna rain on your parade if that's what makes you happy. My laptops have always been cheap machines, as they're typically impossible to upgrade in any meaningful way, so if you want anything decent you have to pay a fortune upfront (which it seems you did).
Personally, I'd rather have a kick-ass desktop hooked up to a ridiculously large monitor(s), and tons of RAM and storage. For me, a laptop is just something I use to remote into it.

I've been on that plan for a while... works for me.
Although I do see the appeal of having a good laptop as a "do it all anywhere" machine.

Appeal, yes, cost-efficient, or practical...not so much.
I'm now used to coding at 4K, and you won't get me using that resolution at, what, 17"? 19"? Are there any laptops with larger screens?
There simply is no practical "do it all" solution in that form factor.

Think most people just get an external monitor(s) with or without a dock for their desk.

Call me old fashioned, but giving $2.2k on a laptop is a waste of money. For that kind of money you can build better desktop system and buy modest laptop for your on the go needs and still have few bucks left.

I don't use desktop systems anymore.

Nice specification. A bit heavy for my taste, though.
Enjoy!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

If I was buying a desktop replacement laptop I'd probably end up with something similar; a ~100W mobile GPU is about the minimum that will give similar ballpark performance to a mid-range desktop graphics card; and the 17" form factor makes disipating the heat without being a jet turbine simulator a lot easier.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Boots up in under 1 second. You are kidding, right?

Nope. It seriously does. The only times it doesn't are when it is installing updates or when I do a restart (not a shutdown and power up). The restart only takes about three seconds to boot. Updates can take a while, depending on how many there are.
