s/13"//

At work I supposedly have a fully Linux-compatible laptop.  It ain't.
In particular, suspend/resume *still* doesn't work properly at least ten
years after I first ran into this problem.

If I close the lid on this laptop, then:
  * it gets very hot so is presumably eating the battery;
  * it doesn't re-connect to the network when I open it again;
  * I need to restart X for the second monitor to work

I suppose that's an improvement over how Linux used to be - Back In The
Day you had a 50/50 chance of needing to power-cycle after closing the
lid.

Just get a Mac.
