This hands-on lead to an important question: why aren't "real" laptops as good, price:performance-wise, as the One Laptop?
Vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) have many advantages including small footprint, circular symmetry of output beam, two-dimensional scalability and/or addressability, surface-mount packaging, good price-performance ratio, and simple optics/alignment for output coupling.
In order to achieve good price-performance ratio, one needs to have a relatively big stream of data, which is usually the case.
A general conclusion from the results obtained is that moving computations from the CPU to the GPU is feasible, yielding good time and price performance, for certain lattice computations.
It's got a good price ($90), great performance, and you know they're going to be good for a while because Seagate will be checking their drives extra close after that little dust-up in January.
"We feel that growing or shrinking profit margins are good leading indicators of stock price performance".
While not essential for a successful stock investment, a stream of increasing dividends may be a good indicator for future stock price performance.
Beating analysts' expectations, Diageo reported organic net sales growth of 7.5% in 1H 2019, driven by good volume performance and good price mix with growth being broad based across categories and regions, including the three focus areas of scotch, US spirits, and India.
In the meantime, while the Bulldozer processors provide decent performance for a good price, no one seems to have found a good reason to buy one other than that they're not Intel.
