Weighing Laptop Options: Sony TX vs HP

Click For Summary
The discussion revolves around choosing between a lightweight Sony TX series laptop and a more affordable, heavier HP model for academic use and presentations. The Sony TX is praised for its portability, weighing only 2-3 pounds, and features like a carbon fiber case, but it has limited RAM (512MB) and a smaller keyboard and screen, which may affect usability. The HP model, while heavier at 5.4 pounds, offers more RAM (1024MB), a larger screen, and longer battery life, but concerns about its durability and keyboard quality are raised. Users express the importance of portability, ease of use, and battery life in their decision-making process. Ultimately, the choice hinges on balancing weight and performance needs against budget constraints.

This is doubtful, as Aqua stores images of each window in memory (or video memory if you have enough of it). Most X11 servers do not do this, but unfortunately, things like Mozilla and Firefox like to store pixmaps in the X11 server.

Ohh I see Mr Unix is in the house. Welcome back :smile: Anyway Yes I guess you are right...

I think a full on install of KDE and Aqua would be about the same tho??
