Non-hiDPI display in 2022 is a non-starter. There’s simply not enough pixels to display text correctly with full hd.

I assure you it's enough to display text correctly in 1080p on 15" which is not considered hidpi. You may like hidpi, and that's fine. But let's keep shifting personal standards and what's practically usable straight.

Only if you are used to hiDPI in the first place.

I have had laptops with hiDPI monitors in the past and currently have a laptop with a FHD screen. After having used both I consider a hiDPI monitor a waste of money and battery life for a 14" laptop.

8, 16, 24 or 40 GB of RAM. What is that?

My wild guess: 8GB soldered on the board plus a single DIMM slot for expansion with 8, 16, 32GB modules

Yes definitely this, they are just distributing OEM laptops and can't alter the design decisions at the initial phase. So you end up with loss of some dual channel RAM benefits

good to see linux being sold in laptop out of the box. this means, hopefully that bugs that the linux community was used to, because everyone knew it and didn't bother fixing are getting fixed because linus managed to break Pop os in the first command.

stuff like what kde is doing with their "15-Minute Bugs" are great initiatives. this will definitely help the overall linux software become more rugged and idiot friendly

I'm not a fan of having my laptop maker's logo plastered on the exterior of my laptop but it is unavoidable these days. The System76 logo on this laptop is an especially egregious example of this. It alone would prevent me from considering purchasing one. I'll be looking elsewhere next year when I am due to upgrade which is unfortunate because I am a fan of Pop!_OS and would otherwise have considered System76.

Edit: A comment says the logo on the System76 laptop is an easy to remove sticker so this might be a non-issue.

Put a black sticker over it and call it a day?

I vaguely think my cheap college laptop display around 2006 was 1080 lines tall. How can it possibly be that some manufacturers haven't moved on since then?

Some people don't care as much about DPI.

I personally got the third-cheapest 49" ultrawide.

People's eyesights vary. I need big letters anyways.
