Comment Feed for Channel 9 - Hanselminutes on 9 - Inside Secret Microsoft Meeting Rooms - What Laptop do Alpha Geeks Use? http://mschnlnine.vo.llnwd.net/d1/Dev/App_Themes/C9/images/feedimage.png Channel 9 - Hanselminutes on 9 - Inside Secret Microsoft Meeting Rooms - What Laptop do Alpha Geeks Use? I'm up in Redmond visiting for a few days this week and I'm in a super-secret meeting in an undisclosed location (Well, actually it's Studio C in the 3408 conference room, but still, what can you do with that?) and during a break I noticed how everyone had a different laptop. Here's 6 short minutes on who's running what. You might recognize a few familiar faces. en Thu, 23 May 2013 16:13:44 GMT Thu, 23 May 2013 16:13:44 GMT Rev9 Re: Hanselminutes on 9 - Inside Secret Microsoft Meeting Rooms - What Laptop do Alpha Geeks Use? Nice, and mildly amusing. That's quite the variety of laptops.

If we only knew what files Phil accidentally deleted when he cleared his recycle bin. Perhaps some new awesomeness for ASP.NET MVC is now lost forever.  Smiley

I'm No alpha geek, but I'm sporting a SONY VAIO VGN-FW290 with 4GB RAM and a 2.26Ghz Core 2 Duo. And, Yes I have access to all 4GB of RAM (unlike Phil) with Win7 RC x64. The only thing I don't like about this laptop is that Sony permenently disables hardware assisted virtualization on all their Vaio laptops; I didn't know this when I bought it and NewEgg wouldn't accept a return. They didn't believe me that the laptop was malfunctioning.

Maybe he deleted the source for Vista along with ME. 

I sport a HP NC8430 2.4 Intel Dual Core with 4GB Ram, Macbook Unibody 2.4 with 4 GB Ram + 7200 RPM 500 GB Drive, and a HP TouchSmart tx2 with AMD Turion x2 64 with 4 GB Ram (Multi-touch) woot.  I have a broken back by the way due to carrying all three in my backpack on occassion.  I need a new one that supports 8 GB now.

I also use a Sony VGN-FW390 w/ 4 gigs of RAM and 2.4GHz CPU and disappointed when I found out that hardware assisted virtualization is disabled. Other than that, I like it a lot. It's very wide 16.4'' but it's lightweight and easy to carry around with lots of screen space without hurting my eyes. I replaced the hard drive with a 7200rpm Hitachi that increased the disk index to 5.7.

"Awesome edition" joke was hilarious, looks like everybody follows CodingHorror Smiley

I use a HP 2710p convertible tablet PC with 4Gb and W7 x64.
The small screen isn't ideal for development but in slate mode it's perfect for taking notes in meetings and drawing out diagrams.

With the 2nd slim-line battery it'll easily run for 7 hours without having to switch off radio and dim the screen.

Shame it doesn't support multi-touch though :¬[

What might be neat is if you could just remote into your desktop -- or some virtualized version of your "desktop" in the cloud -- from a conference room and use a haptic table a la Surface as your input/output device.  You could bring keyboards and mice (like one of the gentlemen in this video did) if you prefer physical input devices.

This won't happen for years though, at least in your typical conference room.  Too costly: haptic devices would first have become commoditized.

Scott, that was a trip to watch, but I must say how surprised I am. I personally don't know how people can live with anything less than a Lenovo W700, quad core, 2 x 320 7200's (though I may have to swap one drive to SSD), and still consider it a development machine. Maybe I'm just the minority, but when I'm used to developing on a beast of a desktop, my laptop needs some serious power to keep me from feeling handicapped.

The first few were some clunkers.  I'd be embarrassed.   I'm surprised there weren't some W700's too.
