Do we really think the build quality of these is even in the same state, much less the same ballpark, as a MBP?
Do we really still think Apple products are the gold standard in hardware?

Have they actually made one yet? The pictures on the site all look like renders; and I couldn't find any pictures of an actual prototype anywhere.
> Have they actually made one yet? Exactly. No real laptops so far; no videos with honest in-depth reviews; no information on the dirability of these machines. If something is too good to be true, it likely is.
I emailed System76 in 2013 asking them to accept Bitcoin. They said no, and continued to say no every couple of years when I emailed to ask again. Glad to see Starlabs is accepting crypto, but a little puzzled by there's no option for stablecoins like USDC. In any case, I'll take it.
I hope places continue to not accept Bitcoin. I can’t wait till it fades away.
In any case, neither your opposition nor my fanboyism will determine crypto's long term success. Only its inherent utility will.
This Linux laptop looks too good to be true. It's available with an AMD or Intel processor, there aren't any strange ergonomic decisions (other than the stow-able web-cam). In particular, they centered they trackpad + keyboard, and it looks like it has decent thermals. The battery is rated for 18 hours. You can choose between a medium resolution, high frame rate display (UHD @ 165Hz) or a 4K 60Hz display. The screen…
- A 16" laptop with no dedicated graphics card. - Matte only option is a weird default over a glossy screen with an optional matte screen protector - Corporate pricing (+324 gbp to go from 32gb to 64gb ram) - Keyboard looks like crap - Only 1 year warranty - Like you said, 4-5 month lead time - Plastic? Basically, you can get better for less, with next day delivery

> Am I missing something? Yeah. The company is three people with practically no money at hand. I can't imagine this being real. Check "full accounts made up to 28 February 2022" https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/c... with cash at hand being just 13,887 pounds. How on earth are you making a laptop from that? Framework started with a nine million seed round and had the former head of hardware a…
Does anyone here run any of these OSes on any of the offered screen densities and resolutions? I have questions. - Surely not every old program available from the repositories will work with display scaling, will they? I've never had to use it, maybe Xorg has some hack to scale certain windows at 2x so you don't need support from individual packages. I'm also thinking of things like Burp Suite, which have window-like…
