VIM learning curve.. It takes 2 hours (at least it did for me 8 years ago) to go through vimtutor, which means you can do all the basic stuff like with any editor. That's it. From that point you can stay or go how ever far you want. From using the editor "the notepad level", go nuts by building a database of key shortcuts and commands in your head.

Is 2 hours a considerably "steep learning curve" for the thing you are going to look at and interact with 8 hours/day, 40 days/week, for the rest of your engineering career?

I do not have a flash player on my machine for more than 6 months. This is the first website I encountered that I cannot use at all.

Both battery slice and 9 cell battery exceeds the desired weight.

With 6 cells you get somewhere around 7-8 hours if you are lucky. I know this laptop, but looking for better options.

I will be able to run Linux happily on it. Looks nice. However, it doesn't have a nice-to-have: RAM.

However, really considerable. Thanks!

Hopes for $1k (it shouldn't be more, should it?), budget is up to $2k.

UK or USA (I could ask a friend to bring me one easily).

Size: I need a workable keyboard, that's all. As mentioned in description, there are 2 requirements: battery life and weight. In practice, I feel comfortable enough with 11'.

I don't like Macs for many reasons, one of which is I can't change its battery.
