Ah, those silly number animations where you animate from zero to the desired value. Combine that with a careless form of server-side rendering (though I am glad that all of the rest of the page is correctly server-side rendered with only one or two other minor issues), and this is the JavaScript-free experience: > Intel® Core® 0 th generation processors > Ryzen™ 0 processor > Up to 0 GB 3200MHz memory > Up to 0 hrs b…

> I'm sure like usual when this comes up, some people will come reply with "you can't make out the difference anyway", which is just not true. It is true for those people. No doubt that's not true for you , but you're not everyone. With fairly small screens (14" is small compared to a 24" desktop monitor) I genuinely don't notice the difference. I'm sure if you would put two screens next to each other I'd be able to…
This is like the Framework laptop but it's a UK-based company that has been around for years, and with an explicit focus on Linux compatibility to boot. I'm surprised I haven't come across them before as I've been looking for Linux-compatible laptops for years. They do some things better than Framework such as supporting Ryzen processors, and seem a bit cheaper overall. The battery life seems like it would be better.…

It is only the trackpoint that locked me on ThinkPad. There is IMHO clearly a user base that would be willing to move away from Lenovo only if they could get an open replacement for that single part...
Yeah me too, the trackpoint keeps me at ThinkPads for my daily driver (I have experimented with others like the Pinebook Pro, but (underpoweredness aside) the lack of the trackpoint kills the deal for me...
But this laptop is missing:
- a second USB-C. - You don't need that HDMI if you have enough USB-C, since you can turn them into what ever port you need. - Why the fuck do we still have USB-2 port ? - We really need to have option for the screen, 1080p is not enough for a lot of people. I like to have as much screen pixel has possible (because I can display more line of code).

Not all trackpoints are the same. ThinkPads are unfortunately uncontested.
IMO, not all Thinkpads. My E485 was noticeably worse than my X1C6. Never seemed to track as well, nor did it seem to resist "sticking" as much. I don't quite know to describe sticking, but it's like when an INU (or a strain gauge in this case) fails to properly self calibrate, and it decides that an objectively false input is true. Something similar to video game controllers with "stick drift," but not quite the same…
> I do appreciate the thinkpad's clustered f1-f12 keys, which make common f keys quicker and easier to find.
Finally I found someone who cares about this too! I've had laptops without those little gaps, and I found it unnoticeably harder to use the F keys; for example brightness up/down is F5/6, and when watching some TV at night when it's dark it's so much easier to find those keys with those little gaps. Even in regular normal use it just makes things a wee bit easier.
It's a small design detail, but it so clearly and objectively makes the keyboard better than I don't understand why so many keyboards don't include it. Well, I do understand: the graphical designers have locked all UX designers in a closet somewhere, but still...
> griping about the "swapped" ctrl/fn key positions
You can just change it in the BIOS anyway so that Fn is Ctrl and Ctrl is Fn, so it's a non-issue anyway.

Asahi's making decent enough progress that, eventually, you may not need to run macOS to enjoy macOS hardware. Why would I pay ~$930 for this, instead of buying an M1 Air? The comment you're responding to hit the nail on the head - once you've gone fan-less and sleek, it's really hard to go back. Few vendors, if any, hit the quality feel of Apple's products.
32GB of RAM? Good Linux support today? Don't have to pay $400 for 1TB storage? Kinda a bad move to buy something that may or may not down the line do what you need to do today. I need features like USB 3 and DP USB output today not 6 months or 2 years from now if it even happens.
> 1000GB SSD. Gen4 PCIe Over-Provisioned storage + €303,71
32gb is the only reason.. but then again, doesn't matter, because developers claim RAM is cheap anyway.. so there's no problem buying a macbook pro instead.
The screen is not 4k, trackpad not as good, it's plastic, It has this oldschool barrel powercharger, etc. etc. etc.
