gollark: <@301477111229841410> Do you need to *entirely* reboot or just restart some service or other?
gollark: I don't follow the laptop market much. But apparently notebookcheck is good for reviews.
gollark: ... other laptops with whatever specs you require? There are lots of laptops.
gollark: Very expensive, and probably going to overheat if you do anything intensive on it.
gollark: All the software will need recompiling, or they'll have to use emulation, which will be very slow.
