<sad_plan>I think I could see myself using this laptop tbh
<midfavila>idk reform is plenty portable
<midfavila>unless youre judging by like a backpack laptop slot in which case mmmnmhm
<midfavila>but yeah
<midfavila>that one is definitely more conventional

<sad_plan>perhaps im judgemental to its formfactor. seeing how thick it is. how much does it weigh even?
<midfavila>like maye 4lbs
<midfavila>maybe*
<midfavila>maybe
<midfavila>ig if youre a biceplet that could be an issue but i take it to work on my bike in a messenger bag and honestly my bike lock is heavier
<midfavila>significantly so
<sad_plan>4lbs isnt *that* bad. I mean, it could be double that
<sad_plan>tbh, my acer laptop probably isnt that much lighter
<midfavila>4lbs is pretty good
<midfavila>i think the uconsole approaches a pound
<midfavila>just handfeeling it
<sad_plan>I havent weighed mine, but 4lbs doesnt sound too bad for such a thick laptop
<midfavila>so ye
<sad_plan>damn
<midfavila>tbf tho the uconsole is a brick
<midfavila>gonna be even moreso once i cram 4 more batteries in there
<midfavila>21Ah here we come >:3c
<sad_plan>a forum post says uconsole weighs ~450g
<midfavila>454==1lb
<midfavila>so right on the money
<sad_plan>which is.. probably 4x ish the regular phone weight
<sad_plan>yep
<sad_plan>how many batteries doest it come with? 2?
<midfavila>yeb
<midfavila>2 18650 lipos in parallel
<sad_plan>neat
<midfavila>someone on the forum modified the battery board to have four more terminals
<midfavila>i already get a full day out of the uconsole on a single charge
<midfavila>with the screen on all day
fitrhquit (Quit: fitrh)
<sad_plan>not too bad. even on regular phones, that can be tough
<midfavila>yeb
<midfavila>also keep in mind that it runs a full fat ubuntu
<midfavila>so sysd/networkman/modemman/pulse/etc are all running too
<sad_plan>yeah, it could probably run somewhat leaner if it ran something less than full fledged ubuntu
<midfavila>a leaner, better-optimised image with proper suspend support would probably fare a lil better
<midfavila>ye
<sad_plan>yep
<midfavila>im hoping to get back to fiddling with it soon
<sad_plan>yeah
<midfavila>i wanna rebuild the base image from source, then try to get a plain debian
<midfavila>once i can do that i'll have the build down plus all the essentials from clockwork isolated
