My AAO is my main computer with my desktop only turning on once or twice a week. I'm commenting from it right now.


Which is fine, if all you do is comment on websites and send email. Try running Eclipse and doing some Java work on that thing, or setup VirtualBox. Yay.

Yup... Even the default laptop resolution is not enough for programming. I brought my dell laptop with a 920p resolution.
