Gokhan that’s right, but having to deal with different set of keys on your full size keyboard and a laptop — not the best stuff. And don’t forget about the tactile feedback.
Technology promised us productivity and delivered on that promise, but didn’t tell us the cost would be our sanity.
While the minutiae of accounting is of little interest to most in the tech world (myself included), stock-based compensation (SBC) has become so massive at large firms that “Adjusted EBITDA”…
Carl, on point about the tactile feedback. And I already mentioned earlier about the important fact of having a laptop with a pretty standard keyboard, otherwise you need to adjust to it every time you switch from your full size keyboard to a laptop
Startup success is rarely a consequence of luck, good genes, or being in the right place at the right time, as the startup gurus and media would like us to believe. In reality, startup success can be engineered by following the right process. Although there are many steps…

Ricky, thanks for the comment, that’s an interesting insight about the processors’ performance.
Jozef, yes you can. Though many developers buy full size keyboards. When you own a laptop and have a separate keyboard — it’s really good to have the same set of keys on your full size keyboard and on your laptop. And now you have to adjust it, not the best option really.

Saša, thanks for sharing your opinion, however, the main issue with the keys appears when you have a full-size keyboard and a laptop with a different set of major keys. And there is one more thing — tactile feedback.
Motoki, that’s an interesting finding, thanks. Though I think you agree with me that the market is much broader than a certain group of users, and when your full size keyboard and a laptop keyboard have different sey of keys — that’s not a good stuff, especially if you used to use the Esc and Fn keys.
