I'm looking for new laptops. One for the wife who mostly just surfs the web and watches netflix and one for myself which should be a decent dev machine (lots of ram, ssd etc).

I am waiting for these to appear more readily in the UK (think they are due this week or next)
Asus UX301[^]
13" 2560x1400, 8GB, i7 Haswell, HD5000 if you want something bigger, you could go for its bigger brother UV500 or something like that...

This is my new love

I'm pretty sure that will NOT fit in a laptop

One of my many reasons why i don't like laptops 
1) you cannot hock up the 42 inch + tv on the second hdmi output together with the monitor in the first hdmi output
2)if your card goes to hell(damn you Sapphire) rarely you can change it in your laptop with fair price[true story]
3)Bob help you if your motherboard's chipset decides to retire

Don't buy one. Get yourself a nice desktop pc

Desktops don't travel well. That's why they [laptops] were invented

Or do what I do and have an awesome desktop with a fairly cheap laptop. I remote in to the desktop from wherever I am at and do development that way.
When I am at home in front of the desktop, I get my 4 1920x1080 monitors for doing a multimonitor app that we have, and on the road, I get access to it for its speed in building stuff.
Best of both worlds......

My desktop pc travels very good, all extras included. By my calculations it traveled around 1k miles (if 1km = 1.6 miles)

I've purchased 5 ASUS laptops (myself/friends/family) and they've all been good.

Get one with a battery and a monitor. Without those they aren't much use.

Both excellent suggestions

Well, I don't really care if graphene should be used for such purposes, but I would be worried by the statement;
"and is designed to gently tighten during intercourse"
how the hell does it know when to stop tightening, I wouldn't want it to cut the circulation off allowing things to drop off, you know, like the rubber band on a lambs tail sort of thing........

Do do do do, do do do do.

Reminds me of an old joke about a miner who discovers a little golden screw in the end of his penis.

You should at least tell the joke or post a link

Yeah, well, I'm sure Chris' penis joke isn't very long anyway...

But how hard can it be to just tell it : )

Well it was very long, and quite hard too as I was making it up as I went along.
It is a joke that works better when spoken, as it is all in the telling, dragging it out, building up the interest, before hitting them with the weak ass (literally) punch line.

One day after a long shift down the mine Jones the Coal hit the showers with his colleagues just the same as the end of every other shift.
Today was to be different however, as he washed the grime and dust away he noticed a golden screw in the end of his penis.
Amazed he tried to remove it, but it wouldn't pull out, wouldn't turn, he could do nothin with it.
Then the realisation hit him; he couldn't piss, not with this golden screw in the end blocking up the hole.
And the more he thought on this, the more he needed to.
He tried, right there in the shower, but nothing.
So he hurriedly dressed and shot off to see his doctor.
His doctor had never seen anything like it, could not remember hearing of anything like it.
He prodded, he pulled, he twisted, he tried a good spray of WD40, but all to no avail.
By now a slightly panicked Jones was worrying what would happen if he could never piss again, what would happen to him, would he rupture or burst?
The doctor promised to make a few calls, to do a bit of research, see what he could dig up, and about an hour later he called Jones back into his room.
"Good news" said the doctor, "I've spoken to an old doctor he says he remembers hearing of a similar case many years ago.
"We're to meet him at the university medical library where he's trying to find what to do".
So they set off for the big city and the old doctor, Jones by this time really needs to go and is squirming about in his seat.
Eventually the old doctor finds what he is looking for, an ancient and dusty tomb, pulls it from the shelf and begins searching through it.
With an exclamation of triumph he stabs at a page in the book with his finger.
And there is detailed the strange case of a miner who returns from the pit to find a little golden screw blocking the end of his penis.
The book says the only way to remove the screw is to travel deep into a local forest, find a clearing, and stand naked in it at midnight.
Jones by now cannot sit still, he is desperate to go so the doctor agree to drive him to the Forest.
They thank the old doctor and set off at high speed.
Driving as close as they can Jones then leaps from the car and rushes off to find the clearing.
He has only minutes to spare as he arrives, ripping off his clothes he stands, naked, in the middle of the clearing.
At the stroke of midnight a beam of moonlight shines down in front of him.
Then he notices a tiny man sliding down the beam of moonlight towards him.
The tiny man is carrying a little golden toolbox.
He walks over to Jones, laying down his little golden toolbox and opening it up.
He takes out a little golden screwdriver and hands it to Jones.
Jones takes the little golden screwdriver, and using it effortlessly removes the little golden screw from the end of his penis?
And do you know what happened next?

His arse fell off!
