I was looking at those as well. It's a shame the companies that do the linux dedicated laptops like system76 and others have pretty terrible form factors

+1 for dell XPS13

I'm getting fed up with it after a couple of years tbh, the hinges are really weak and make the body break easily, it has stupid loud coil whine, the integrated network card is awful and the screen sometimes has after image shadows

my only complaint about my lenovo t540p is that it's heavy (and that it doesn't seem to break down even after 4 years now)

any users of clojurekit here ?

i use it with rainbow brackets on top of it and this way it's pretty usable, at least for the hobby mode stuff that i do

As in the IntelliJ plugin?

I used it for a bit because it was free, but there were various things it did that I didn't like, and it had no configurability, so in the end I shelled out for Cursive (shout out to #cursive)

i do agree that cursive is better .... but i can't justify it's price point for my usage for now ...

tried some vim stuff too with fireplace and all but it felt like using a hammer for a screw 😞

Heh. There's a few in our team using vim-fireplace

Most are using... vscode with some free Clojure plugins IIRC

well if i'd do it professionally i would do cursive and intellij for sure 🙂 . i'm a vim fanboy forever but never got the hang of fireplace properly. and i'm totally untalented at emacs. just can't do it.

I like fireplace, be interested to know what you don't like 😊

I ended up surrendering to emacs after trying Atom with plugins, Sublime with plugins and Cursive

It took a lot of time to understand and get used to, but after a few months forcing myself I feel good using it

@theeternalpulse I just bought this one https://slickdeals.net/f/12560341-overpowered-15-laptop-i7-8750h-144hz-16gb-ram-gtx-1060-6gb-799-free-2-day-shipping-790-76-pick-up-from-store?src=SiteSearchV2_SearchBarV2Algo1 for my kids and I am really impressed with build quality. I paid 791$ with VR goggles as a free addition. It has 16BG od RAM in one stick. 2 hard drives and I bought a Razer Blade 15 for me. Unfortunately I have not had a chance to install linux on them yet but I will.

@kulminaator If you’re not doing commercial work with Clojure, you can get a free non-Commercial licence to use Cursive.

How does IntelliJ know you are using Cursive for non-commercial purposes? Does it come down to an honor system?

@mario.cordova.862 Yes, my whole licensing scheme is basically a big honesty box.
