       | We have two and the AMD still wakes up frequently (latest fw and
       | kernel, not as bad as before) and all are still vulnerable to

       | Why are they making 13-inch laptops? It looks like a toy: small
       | keyboard with tiny keys, tiny screen which cannot display IDE,
       | tiny touchpad. If you want something small and lightweight to
       | take with you, isn't it better to buy a 13-inch tablet then?

         | large external monitor.

         | Because some of us travel?

         | "isn't it better to buy a 13-inch tablet then?" No. Tablets are
         | for consuming media and are terrible at anything else. Plus
         | with a keyboard case they weigh more than at 13" laptop.

         | 
         | 13" tables are just weird uncomfortable laptops that lack a
         | keyboard.
