A whole slate of new laptops are coming, and of course, manufacturers are trying to impress us with THINNESS! What about test driving a machine at the complete OPPOSITE of the thinness spectrum? https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45T
It's so rad to do a sponsored video like this, and the first thing they ask is "Can you blast our laptop with a hose?"
It's big, thicc, and chunky, but there are SO MANY things on this Getac I wish I had on "regular" thin laptops...
Looking for Toshiba L50utils.exe - laptop pcmcia drivers for Windows 95. It is long gone from the Toshiba website. Anybody with a floppy with this on or know where to find a copy?
Yesterday we were preparing a place for Tbilisi Guix Meetup and one of the residents of hackerspace brough an arm thinkpad. It's the first RISC laptop I see in person that feels modern and satisfying.
The production of our ultra-portable workstation, the TUXEDO Pulse 14 - Gen4, starts today. If you have already ordered, there are only a few days left until your order arrives!

If I were to buy a new laptop with some version of newbie friendly linux preloaded, intending to use it for music and graphics arts (not gaming), social media, and regular LibreOffice type stuff (and affinity, audacity, etc), what laptop would I buy with what version of linux?
AI Laptop REACTIONS! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45Q
Checking out all the announcements today from Dell, HP, Microsoft, Samsung, Acer, Asus, and Lenovo! I did a live recording of my reactions.
Windows on ARM is getting REALLY exciting! Here are some things to look out for while shopping a new "AI" laptop!
The hard part of setting up a new #Linux#laptop is done. The initial sticker selection is all important. Now, what #distro and packages should I install? I reckon I'll mostly use it for hardware & server side programming.
Spent the day installing #Mint#XFce to an old Acer #laptop of my sister in law's brother (I've converted everyone to #Linux in the family). Acer's firmware was very buggy, so it took tricks to load grub.
Installed them a few apps, and they will be super happy with their new (old) laptop. Previously, #Windows 10 was dying on that laptop, it was that slow, as it was swapping furiously! Mint loaded in about 1 minute, which is good (considering the very slow hdd).
The TUXEDO Sirius 16 - Gen2 impresses with a robust all-aluminum chassis with sleek gamer aesthetics, a large 16.1-inch display with a resolution of 2560x1440 pixels, a large 80 Wh battery, up to 96(!) GB DDR5-5600 RAM, 8 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD storage and extensive connectivity, including USB 4.0, HDMI 2.1 and Wi-Fi 6E.
I originally tooted about this about a month ago. Through a dose of bad luck (combined with shipping times), it's taken a month to get the #laptop up and running again.
