It might be enough to show the text, but there is still no enough space on the screen. On 1440p disply for example there is so much more to run apps side by side.
How good is your eyesight? 150%? This is a 14" screen.
Oh funny I was looking at this the other day, didn’t realize it was a new thing. Their laptops smare tempting. I assume they are better built than the mass produced stuff.
I wouldn't assume that. I'd assume this is a mass produced stuff going through an ODM like Clevo.
If it isn't, there certainly isn't any reason to expect system76 to be capable of better production than the "mass produced stuff" coming out of eg Dell's XPS line or Lenovo's Carbon line. Especially when those companies have decades of experience and tooling investments here.
But I also don't think the dismissal of "mass produced stuff" is really even fair here. The Clevo and other ODM designs have been quite good for a long time now.
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 frien…
> good to see linux being sold in laptop out of the box. I remember knowing that if I got an IBM ThinkPad, it probably had good Linux driver support. I still make the assumption that Lenovo ThinkPads have better Linux driver support because hackers prefer them. But I honestly have no idea if that's true any more.
I'm wondering with the (permanent?) switch to work from home if laptop sales will go down. I've replaced both my personal and work laptops with System76 Meerkat mini PCs both running stock Unbuntu using Regolith for the desktop environment ( https://system76.com/desktops/meerkat ). They are stacked on top of each other on my desk and take up next to no space. I work from home (and have since 1999) and don't travel fo…
How do you find them for noise? I had an 8th gen NUC that was unbearable under high CPU load - I replaced it with a slightly larger ASRock DeskMini X300 with Ryzen 5750GE and Noctua AM4 cooler that is silent, even under full load.

HDD -> SSD is an enormous difference. SSD -> NVMe, better but not so dramatic. 1080p -> 4K is an enormous difference. 4K -> 8K, better but not so dramatic. The rate of improvement is not linear.
No one said it was. But for some people for some problems what they have is definitely good enough. Example: hdd to ssd (huge quantitative improvement if you measure speeds). As you rightly said. To my eyes(bad eyes) 1080p is enough, 4k might look slightly better but no way near in the same ballpark as hdd to ssd. Maybe its the fonts, workflow or fontsize i use but 4k fonts does not not x5 or x10 better than 1080p fo…
If you don't see the difference, it doesn't mean there's none.

I was wondering how that got that battery life. I have an old system 76 (8th gen intel and nvidia) and while it’s quite speedy and can game, battery life isn’t great. The article hints at Linux now using intels new low power cores. Though I’m not sure exactly how. “Like Windows, Linux had to have some serious tinkering under the hood to prepare for the mix of Performance and Efficiency cores in Alder Lake chips. Howe…

This is solved well in Wayland, with X11 this is not as straight forward. Wayland comes with some other issues though.
Its Saturday and I got some fighting words leftover from the week/s Using solved and wayland i. the same sentence is just not right ! Source: nvidia+intel laptop owner. Wayland+Nvidia: Having it work sometimes under some conditions are not the same as solved. X11 is not flawless either but i feel it works more times under more conditions. Ok rant over, sorry for sounding like a d*k :)
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:…
"This truck is tracked and protected by satellite" and have their numberplate painted on the roof.
Would be 'somewat funny' if you get stickers like that for laptops
'This laptop is protected by satellite and rdfi' and have some random macaddrrss as part of sticker.
This would be perfect to hide your ugly laptop logo :)
ok who is buying and how many stickers you all want ??

That’s just simply facts, you can read more here: https://tonsky.me/blog/monitors/
Lamborghini cars are faster than most jeeps. Facts, does not mean its a overall better driving experience or that jeeps 'simply' are not driveable.
