To be brutally honest, this looks like a very lame laptop.
For $1000 it looks ok to me!

Downvoted only because you didn't elaborate or qualify your criticism, which makes for very lame reading and adds nothing of value to the thread.
I'm trying to be nice by giving you some honest feedback, assuming you don't realize that it sucks for people to read vapid criticisms without substance.
Edit: Yes, thank you, please downvote me without saying why. Thank you! How deep does the rabbit hole go? It stings and bleeds.. lol :)

#63What is with those arrow keys? Who wants double wide half height up and down keys? 2 x 0.5 does not equal one full sized key. Am I really to believe that relabeling the win key to super is some sort of engineering feat?
And the power button sitting just above backspace. Point me to a dev who doesn't use backspace about as much as they do the return key ;-)

#64That'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.
They stuck the Pop!_OS logo right up by the HP logo at the top of the page; I would be astonished if they didn't have some sort of legal agreement to use the trademark.

#65Offset trackpad is a 100% deal breaker for me, sorry. It could support 64GB and Libreboot and I would pass.
It's centered under the spacebar in the image I see (which is elsewhere).
It made me notice the vertical line of keys on the right, which is why the spacebar isn’t centered.
I don’t think any of these keys are useful enough to warrant taking that space and shifting the whole keyboards to the left. Feels really like a checklist driven design.

#66I 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'd be fine with 16 and 1TB SSB, but only if both are upgradeable...

#67Just get an XPS 13 right now.
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.
Or if you do use sleep, make sure you don't put it in a bag since that will void the warranty [0]

I’ve been running it on a spare drive on my desktop PC for the past 2 weeks and I have to say I’m impressed. The level of polish is near Windows/OSX level.
At this point my only reason for booting into Windows will be for games that don’t run on Linux.

Framework has recently announced availability of Intel 12th gen - still not AMD, but it's a fairly huge jump in performance from 11th gen.
And of course you can just order a replacement mainboard for your already purchased Framework laptop, which is awesome.

#7016GB 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…
Radeon graphics and 16GB memory for $1,100 sounds like a good deal imo.
$1,100 for bad graphics card laptop notebook seems like a pretty underwhelming deal. Costco has better bargains every day or nearly every day.
