Key differences are 4 vs 2 core i7 and the new Crucial SSD. The new SSD reads at 415MB\/s (average&#8230; peaks at 500BM\/s) and writes at 260MB\/s. This means that, for instance, I installed a local copy of Websphere 7 in less than 2 minutes! I didn&#8217;t time profile creation but it took much less than than anticipated. Installation and profile creation were so fast that had I though they exited early with an exception.<\/p>\n<p>VM RHEL is also easly 2x faster on this laptop. Instance start\/stop\/pause executes much more quickly. The next key test is to see how the batteries hold-out during air-travel.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wanted to share these specifications as there will be some future entries proofed on this configuration: Laptop: ASUS N53 Series N53SV-XV1 Intel Core i7 2630QM Win7-64 Professional, SP1 (Host Operating System) Crucial M4 256GB SATA<a class=\"moretag\" href=\"http:\/\/garysamuelson.com\/blog\/?p=292\"> Read more&hellip;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-292","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-system-platform"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/garysamuelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/garysamuelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/garysamuelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/garysamuelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/garysamuelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=292"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"http:\/\/garysamuelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":302,"href":"http:\/\/garysamuelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/292\/revisions\/302"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/garysamuelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=292"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/garysamuelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=292"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/garysamuelson.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=292"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
