Re: [OT] New laptop

I have a number of basic static type websites and I just host them in an Azure VM (old school!), it is much cheaper. My actual cloud app that is doing a lot of work is hosted in Web Apps. Craig On Wed, Apr 6, 2016 at 11:12 AM, Greg Keogh wrote: > Do you have each website on

Re: [OT] New laptop

Do you have each website on its own machine or something? I'm using web apps (not vms) for all my websites. $200 per month is plenty. I have four websites, each with database (and dev slots with their own database) as well as blob storage and some other stuff like AD. Granted they are not

Re: [OT] New laptop

I was actually starting to think this myself. I have a vm on my Azure (mainly so we can browse the Internet as they have a barbaric white listed proxy, but have a port open to azure) and I have it with ssd's and 7gb or ram. Worked out the automation so it shuts down during non working hours.

Still loving my Dell E7440. Lightweight, and I fitted it with 16GB memory from Crucial, 2TB EVO SSD, and an LTE-A internal modem from Sierra Wireless. (Currently getting near 100MB/sec down and 45MB/sec up). Great machine. Regards, Greg Dr Greg Low 1300SQLSQL (1300 775 775) office | +61

Re: [OT] New laptop

i5 is fine though I struggle a little with only 8 GB of ram. Ssd way more important though. My mac - or the current equivalent - I bought last year seems to have jumped $1k which would have made it out of my bracket. On 6 Apr 2016 09:52, "Tejas Goradia" wrote: > Just

Re: [OT] New laptop

I'm sort of looking at this now. Since I have a powerful desktop at work I can rdp from any piece of rubbish and still be productive. However for offline access and dev power is still needed so I'm still debating. I like the idea of a lightweight i5 Mac type device to be honest. On 6/04/2016

Re: [OT] New laptop

Just wondering, is it worth spending so much money on local computing? I wonder how many people are now using Amazon or Azure as an option vs buying best in the breed local computing power. Is 8gb, i5 environment not enough? On 29/10/2015 9:22 AM, "Tom Rutter" wrote: >
