I just want something that builds Debian packages fast (like Ceph, that takes more than 1h to build for me&#8230;). The more cores I get, the faster all OpenStack unit tests are running too (stestr does a moderately good job at spreading the tests to all cores). That&#8217;d be ok if I had to pay more for a GPU that I don&#8217;t need, and I would have deal with the annoyance of the NVidia driver, if only I could find something with a correct size. But I can only find 16&#8243; or bigger laptops, that wont fit in my scooter back case (most of the time, these laptops have an 17 inch screen: that&#8217;s a way too big).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently, I found:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Lenovo Legion Pro 5: screen is 16.8&#8243;<\/li><li>Dell Alienware m6: super heavy, 16&#8243;<\/li><li>Asus ROG Zephyrus Duo 16: 16&#8243;<\/li><li>MSI alpha (16 and 17): also 16&#8243;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If one of the readers of this post find a smaller laptop with a 7945HX CPU, please let me know!
