During...The trip to CNI was my first with the C720. During the trip I was debugging some enhancements to the LOCKSS daemon as well as the usual e-mail and browsing. My reactions:<br /><br />- The bigger screen is <i>much</i> better for programming.<br /><br />-The battery life isn't as good as the Seashell. This may be because I haven't optimized Ubuntu's power settings as well as I did for the Seashell. And I may not be making sufficient allowance for the power demands of running the LOCKSS daemon's unit test suite, which the C720 does a whole lot faster than the Seashell, or the Intel NUC on my desk.<br /><br />- On a hard surface there is a faint but irritating noise from the fan. On a soft surface it is inaudible.<br /><br />- I'm still not used to the much bigger touch pad, and keep accidentally moving the cursor by touching the touch pad with the balls of my thumbs.<br /><br />- 5GHz WiFi wins!<br /><br />Overall, I'm pretty happy.David.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14498131502038331594noreply@blogger.com
