I can only agree.
I am using the PBP since it is out 5 years ago as my only laptop. I have a company laptop for work though.
For my private use I never felt that the resources are too limited. I could do light programming, even compile the compiler for some newer languages like Odin in the PBP.
The 4GB RAM are not really limiting what I do, like WEB browsing, text writing and light development.
Thinks that all work:
- Modula3, Oberon, Odin compilers can be build and run.
- Building and running Emacs
- Amiga emulator. No problem.
- Silicone Graphics Indigo2 emulator with MAME. Not quite full speed (at all ;-). Still, an SGI Iris on a PBP :-D
Over the years I had only minor damage on the frame that I could fix and cover up myself.
And it cannot be overstated how great the display is for a device of this class.
