Interesting, but not terribly surprising. The "gamer" is probably choosing something like Alienware, the "Windows power user" / "business user" is probably picking Lenovo, and the general consumer is going cheap.
I will say as a Linux user that these do look damn cool and if I was shopping for laptops, it'd be the frontrunner.
I could be wrong but Razer and Legion seem like stronger gamer brands compared to Alienware these days.
You're probably right, I am not exactly keeping up!
Alienware is still reasonable popular for sure. It’s just not what it was back in the day. I should’ve mentioned ROG as well.
Have the 12" and just ordered the desktop. Top quality and love the mission. Keep them at the top of your list!!
The video said it was a MBP for Linux users so this doesn't seem like much of a headline
i've been boggling over that part; it doesn't have anywhere near the same battery life like mac or coreboot does.
I've been reading 20 hours of battery life while streaming. Battery life doesn't improve the experience beyond a certain point, my XPS with Debian gets about 6 hours, my M1 MBA get about 8, I really don't need more than 8 hours.
I prefer standby as a measure of usefulness my MBA can sleep for weeks, my XPS can only last 4-5 days.
neat!
maybe i will get one after all...
I'll probably get one one once ram and storage prices come back to reality
Wait really? Even with the 13 pro's upgraded battery?
i don't think anyone's tested that yet.
Oh ok, I thought you were referring to a comparison when you said it doesn't come anywhere near the MBP. I just heard that it's supposed to be about the same.
