Comparing computers
For people who were wondering about the relative weights of computers at Games-Club-in-Exile last night:
I think mnemex’s new laptop was a Lenovo ThinkPad X300, which starts at 2.7 pounds. If it’s the largest model, it’s got a 13.3” display (1440x900?), but I can’t tell how much that particular model weighs.
According to Wikipedia, the XO-1 weighs either 1.45 or 1.58 kilograms, depending on which battery option you choose. Call it around 3 pounds, so yeah, it might be a bit heavier than the Lenovo.
The ASUS Eee weighs about 2 pounds. If I were gonna get a lightweight, toting-about computer, this would probably be it.
The MacBook Air weighs 3 pounds and also has a 13.3” display (1280x800).
Update: Oh, right, and the thing I was trying to look up? Mike Rohde’s SXSW sketchnotes.
