You also get a compact display and keyboard. Both are handicaps that make them little better than useless to some people, e.g. touch typists, and people who value their limited eyesight.
Well, I don't see the problem if the laptop has a digital monitor output (HDMI/DVI/DisplayPort). You can connect your own stuff and just ignore the laptop's. Better yet some have docking stations.
Great, two keyboards per PC to catch coffee spills and hairballs. :-p
Last I remember, none of the DEs had a decent solution to problems caused by typical pixel density differences between laptop screens and external displays. It's a can of worms better avoided, especially by those with less than outstanding vision.
And, when did longevity of laptops quit being less than half that of desktops? A (modular) PC can usually be fixed, and quickly, with generic parts, when something breaks.
+1 (on the longevity and fixing of troubles) *IF* you want to use laptop HW, please inform your self about the sort of "Intel NUC", "Gigabyte BRIX", or similar. Much easier to get into than a real laptop, and still below 65W max in most versions, idle below 15W by most. - Yamaban. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
