No, but studded tyres do.

What about joining a local hackerspace, if that's an option? You can get access to much better machines than you would buy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hackerspace

Don't you have a public bookcase nearby? You could give your books there https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_bookcase

tdvorak··on Ask HN: Which is the best laptop for programmers under budget?

My choice as well. I've just added one more 8GB RAM module and replaced OS with Xubuntu. Happy java dev since then.

Another Gitbook user here. For me, it's the simple markdown syntax, nice diffs in GIT/SVN, tooling, exports to HTML/PDF with plugin possibilities and minimal vendor lock-in.

That said, the preferred tool in our company is still MS Word. Fortunately I've managed to adapt Gitbook output to look pretty much the same as output from our Word template.
