New laptop wanted to run linux and (just about run) darktable

I’m sure you have given thought to the CPU/GPU/memory considerations for running dt. Here are a couple of additional things to think about when getting a small laptop:

  • Are the keys the same size as on your desktop keyboard, and are they spaced the same? I had (technically, still have) a 11" laptop with smaller keys at smaller spacing, and when I was using it I found that my typo rate went way up on both the laptop and my desktop. Very frustrating.
  • Is the resolution sufficient to allow the side panels of dt to be displayed and still have enough real estate for the image?
