#53It has a trackpoint mouse like the Thinkpads <3
The had to off-center the trackpad to match the trackpoint in order to fit those keys by the left. I'm a very big fan of page up and down keys, but I absolutely hate off-center trackpads. What do you guys think?

#54Earlier quoted context omitted.
I use the right shift key to type capital letters on the left side of the keyboard since I type with ten fingers. I suspect most people do that?
I often type them on the left side with one hand holding the shift and typing. It's not as hard as it sounds.
For me it's highly idiosyncratic. I type a lop of caps with LeftShift+Left hand, and RightShift+Right Hand, and many more with LeftShift+Right Hand or RightShift+LeftHand. I think it even comes down to what I'm typing: whether I'm working on Prose or text, and even the language I'm writing in (English, Irish or French)

#55I want to like this, but I feel like 32GB of RAM is minimum if I were buying a new laptop. I’ve been heavily eyeing the Framework but I’d prefer AMD. This had AMD but is limited to 16GB of RAM… lots of unnecessary tradeoffs being made here.
I’m non-tech side and snorted at max 16GB for devs. GLWT HP. Concur with the other comment that said it’s a marketing exercise aimed at decision makers.

#5616GB RAM? Is it upgradable or can it be configured higher? If not, why in god's name would you have 16GB RAM as a selling point? FHD at 14"? That's more than usable sure, but I'd prefer at least 2560x1440, preferably 2560x1600; A 16:9 aspect ratio is a pain in the ass. 4 years ago, these specs (if you can even call it that, we've been given almost no information) would have been decent. Now? This just seems desperate…

Re: HP Dev One Laptop with Pop_OS
#57That's interesting; I thought System76 made Pop!_OS specifically to have a distro tuned to their hardware, but assuming this is as official as it looks that implies that they've started going for licensing it out to other vendors
It's open-source and mostly or entirely licensed under the GPLv3, so I don't think HP would've needed to license it.
Re: HP Dev One Laptop with Pop_OS
#58Is this a custom laptop or a different SKU of an existing one? I haven’t seen a recent EliteBook so I can’t identify it on sight anymore, unfortunately.
It’s a Pavilion afaict.
Edit:
Actually it looks more like an Elitebook 845. Here's one with similar specs (smaller 512GB SSD) for $1569.

Yes, it looks quite a bit like this one:

Similar specs but with a non-Pro Ryzen 7 CPU and smaller 256GB SSD for $649. Keeping in mind that there's no special sale going on, so this is just the baseline price.

Sure if you don’t want proper sleep/hibernate. Dell won’t fix and I’m still salty about it after buying two of them.
Re: HP Dev One Laptop with Pop_OS
#60It has a trackpoint with 2 buttons which tells us they did not put any serious effort into this input device. Would you use a 2 button mouse without scroll-wheel or a touchpad without 2-fingers scrolling? I suspect this low effort goes for the whole product which is a budget laptop with marketing directed at decision makers instead of users.
The presence of the buttons doesn't matter much does it? Assuming a tap works as mouse click.
Maybe they're there for nipple users - it has one. Use fingers on the nipple and thumb on the button.
So to speak.
