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!
Have the 12" and just ordered the desktop. Top quality and love the mission. Keep them at the top of your list!!
had been thinking of something similar but recently pivoted to a 13 Pro only with a dock for home. Not sure if thunderbolt and a dock (which one) is a thing with the 13Pro though?
There are definetly docks/hubs made to work with that model.
Have been thinking of a 13 Pro only with a dock for home to replace my ancient laptop and mini-desktop. Not sure if thunderbolt and a dock (which one?) is a thing with the 13Pro though?
That’s exactly what I did! Framework (not pro) with an Anker dock to replace old desktop/laptop. No complaints.
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
