All,
See the request below. Is the developer laptop the same as the standard one or do we get the SE config?

Proper answer: Standard config, because we don’t really do a developer laptop anymore.
Improper answer: The developer laptop is a rare and terrible beast we only deploy once every 5 years. It’s ivory casing is hewn cold from the bones of a great mountain yeti, it’s screen of purest star sapphire. Instead of a processor, it features a tiny Victorian man who is connected to the “AEtherweb” by means of an even tinier helmet of jade, brass, and onyx. Requests are entered on punch card made of lavender scented muslin, and after he recovers from the heady vapors, the tiny man will produce Alpha code with the power of his mind and a Ouija board.
