LENOVO DOES IT AGAIN

http://arstechnica.com/staff/2014/01/stop-trying-to-innovate-keyboards-youre-just-making-them-worse/

I'm feeling the nerd rage in my blood now.

Fuck you Lenovo... fuck you. I used to love you, now i can't recognize you anymore.

If it ain't MIPS, it's crap.

Who gives a crap about computers?
This is a programming board.

>>1
It's actually a nice keyboard.

Why do you care about keyboards on a laptop? If you're doing real work, you should be connected to a dock that has a real keyboard, real mouse, a monitor and many USB ports.

Why have a laptop if you're going to treat it like a glorified desktop?

In related news, IBM abandoned x86 entirely and sold it off to Lenovo. Now POWER will be even faster because they don't have to worry about cannibalizing their x86 server market. x86 is dying and IBM knows it. Even AMD, the company that made an "x86 everywhere" presentation a few years back, will debut 64-bit ARM processors this year.

0/10 keep dreaming...

>>10
Laptop computers can do light work when you're out and about. When you're stationed at your workplace, all laptop computers are inadequate for real work which is why you connect it to a dock when you're doing real work.

>>13
Thinkpad laptops were used to be appropiate for the work, until the X220, Now there's no choice anymore. Just macbook clones, with soldered RAM and horrible input device design. I mean, 8GB max ram???? WTF. That's not a machine for a professional developer is just a nice toy for an executive. That's why they are focusing more on looks than functionality now.

>>11
As much as I want this to happen, I can't see this happening.

>POWER
Its like datacenters want to sponsor the coal industry.

Fucking apple ruined computers for everyone

>>12
He dreams the truth. MIPS has accelerated x86 emulation at ~70% of native speed, and there are Russian 512-bit dual-ISA procs that can run x86 with no performance overhead.

>>16
POWER uses less energy per calculation than amd64. It's ideal for the data center.

>>19
Its misleading. You assume the POWER chips are run at full load 24/7.
 At idle or low load these systems draw more than amd64 and much more than ARM.
Most systems aren't engaged at calculations every second, they have sporadic, random bursts of activity.
The datacenter which runs ARM servers would save a lot of cash every single day, just because of this fact.

POWER is Pathetic, but the SPARC is Shit.

https://blogs.oracle.com/BestPerf/entry/20130326_sparc_t5_speccpu2006_rate
Look at the 8-CPU results; the POWER7 at 3.92GHz gets 2770 SPECint while the Xeon at 2.4GHz gets 2180 - so the raw score for that POWER7 system was higher, but notice that it needs 1.6x as many threads to get a 1.27x higher result. Looking at execution efficiency, we have

SPARC T5 1.02 result/thread/GHz
POWER7 2.76 result/thread/GHz
POWER7+ 3.30 result/thread/GHz
Xeon 5.68 result/thread/GHz
Opteron 6.96 result/thread/GHz


The 1-CPU SPECint results are...
SPARC T5 1.01 result/thread/GHz
POWER7 2.54 result/thread/GHz
Opteron 6.90 result/thread/GHz
Xeon 7.69 result/thread/GHz

Pretty similar to results I calculated a year ago:
http://dis.4chan.org/read/prog/1359605422/108

Where are the ARMs? There still hasn't been a SPECint'06 result submitted for an ARM-based server or desktop, so I can't make any concrete statements here, but if RISC vs CISC is the differentiator then the trend is clear: x86 is still superior.

Another thing about those systems above is that the SPARCs and POWERs are very instruction-hungry, have low code density, and require massively wide memory busses to run at peak performance.

Those buttonless touchpads are particularly irritating to use...

The author linked to Jezebel.

Cudder is a girl!

>>27
Yes. Actually he is 3 programmer girls who fap to hentai.
Man, you're such a gullible nigger.

more like "Mr.Fagtori" lol

This shit is actually everywhere. You won't find a decent keyboard on a laptop (except for some fujitsu, probably).

>>31
Fujitsu is shit-tier, pleb

Shalom!
Only a kike would support degenerate transgenderism.

So's everything else, sadly.
