actually speaking of apple... bc I didn't really want to get into this whole debate.. but at this price point why wouldn't you just buy a macbook air m2.

Macs are not comparable to a full Linux system. Also, when the battery dies, you can replace it easily. Any modern laptop is still going to have battery degradation. This is a much better investment for those that can't afford to replace laptops every 3-4 years.

As someone (myself) that uses linux almost exclusively, what is that supposed to mean "that it's not comparable?" It's 100% comparable. And if you ask me ubuntu gnome desktop is starting to look exactly like a mac ui. Another comparison is that there's no support for my "full Linux system" when shit hits the fan and the OS deadlocks except for myself. Linux has 100% bricked on me after upgrades/updates. Anyway overall I 100% love my ubuntu and centos systems. 5/5 would recommend.

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…

GP probably meant consumer vs business laptops. Personally I let my last laptop die and never bothered replacing it. My Pinephone works much better when I need portable computing and it means I don't have to carry two laptops on a working vacation.

Especially with System76. They all have instruction manuals available: https://tech-docs.system76.com/models/lemp11/repairs.html

I had this laptop, but ultimately replaced it with a 14” M1 Max. Some thoughts: - The screen is so much worse, in every way, than a MacBook. A “low resolution” (more like, not high dpi) matte screen vs the M1 screen, there is no comparison. When I first got this machine, my eyes would have to adjust to the screen, and it felt so blurry compared to my works retina Touch Bar Mac - PopOS is great! It is definitely one o…

A someone that codes and reads code most of the day, matte screen is actually a must for me.

To be fair, I don't even consider apple laptops mainly for this reason.

Isn't that laptop produced by another company and just rebranded by system76?

The chassis is I believe a L140PU: https://www.clevo.com.tw/clevo_prodetail.asp?id=1599&lang=en

If I were buying this model I wouldn't mind buying it from System76 if you're not ultra-price sensitive to show support for their coreboot and open-source EC development.

The Intel i7-1255U is about 20% slower than an Intel i7-1260P or an AMD 5800U, so it's performance isn't bad, but personally I'd rather have a >16:9 >1080p >300 nit display (similar alternatives with better displays: Tuxedo Pulse 15 Gen2, Slimbook Executive 14, Framework 12th Gen)

Could you elaborate or provide a link? (what makes Apple screens less suitable for text work)
