Still looking for my "forever Linux laptop." The one I'll put ALL my stickers on.

At one point I thought it would be the @system76 Oryx Pro but 17-inchers are big and & power hungry.

Then I wanted it to be my Apple M1, but app compatibility (ARM) has me a little concerned.

I need all day battery life, great display, MODEST dedicated GPU or strong integrated GPU.

Should I just do what everyone else has been doing and buy a ? The T-14 looks pretty sweet.

Seit vergangener Woche fehlen zwei #Laptops mit mehr als 700.000 E-Mails zu der CumEx-Affäre, in die der deutsche Bundeskanzler verwickelt ist.

Wieso liegen die Mails nur auf den Laptops? Wieso gibt es von diesen Laptops keine Images?
Gibt es in Deutschland wirklich keine digital-ForensikerInnen oder ist das bewusste Inkompetenz?

Every time I review any hardware on the channel, I always get asked « where the affordable options are », so here are 2 from @slimbook, the « Elemental » line.

They start under 550€, or under 500€ if you don’t have to pay VAT, and they actually give you a really solid device for the cost:

What if you could own a stylus enabled Windows 11 Laptop, that was ALSO a Linux PC, and it was ALSO an Android tablet, and it cost less than an iPad Air (with keyboard), but had twice as much storage as the iPad AND you could upgrade its SSD when you needed more space?

If only some magic unicorn computer like that existed...

Saw this on a Costco ad. Word of advice: DO NOT BUY laptops from this particular company.We did two years ago, and the one we have will not accept third party battery replacements (will not power up the machine with a third party battery), and the company DOES NOT sell replacement batteries. Yes, this is the same one with draconian printer cartridge restrictions.

I would only consider any of the upcoming Windows on ARM laptops with the new Qualcomm processors if and only if there is first-tier support for Linux and nothing is locked-down tight re: Secure Boot or TPM.

So according to Intel their latest lineup of mobile CPUs is the biggest jump in laptop CPU development of their entire history.

They're getting absolutely destroyed by AMD's current generation laptop chips.

Me: I'd like a reliable laptop with good battery life, lets me get my work done, which I can load all the tools I need... no shoving ads in my face, channeling my data for advertising, trying to sell me things, and not locking me into hardware.

Manufacturers: YOU NEED AI. AI IS THE FUTURE.

Some of the hyperbole made by tech reviewers about modern laptops is just ridiculous.

You think the 15” MacBook Air is “heavy” at 2.7 pounds?

Listen up, junior: my 15” PowerBook G4 weighed 5.6 pounds and my PowerBook 5300 before that weighed 6.2 pounds.

Sure, the determination of “heavy” is relative, but even the current 16” MacBook Pro is only 4.8 pounds.

You would never have survived 90’s laptops. 😉

Hey everyone, new video is up!

Many people have forgotten about PCMCIA, but in its time, it was the widely accepted way to add functionality to laptops and other mobile devices. In this video we use a Toshiba Libretto notebook computer to recover data from an old PCMCIA SD Card.

Like, share, boost, favorite, all those fancy social-media-like thingies.

Hello @tuxedocomputers, @slimbook, @system76/@system76, @purism, @novacustom, @start9labs & any other companies making with preinstalled roaming around on the , I have a seemingly stupid question for all of you:

How come, as far as I know, none of you ever made any , like Acer's Spin series, HP's x360 laptops, a non negligible part of Lenovo's Yoga laptops, or a growing number of Chromebook?

Because I would buy such a Laptop, especially if it used (or a distro of it) as firmware. 😉

I mean, it's not like GNU/Linux didn't have some that would be great with a , like , or to name a few.)

Something I'd be interested in that I can't seem to find:

A low-powered Linux laptop with an e-ink display, that I could use for long-form writing or coding.

What I've found so far are mostly either

  • Tablets intended for note-taking (like the ReMarkable or BOOX's various lines)
  • Higher-end where the e-ink display is an extra (like Lenovo's swivel designs where you rotate the display to use either an OLED or e-ink).

Some of the tablets do have keyboard cases, which would be better than just hooking up a random Bluetooth keyboard, but it doesn't look like I can just install programs on them, except for the Android ones, which aren't going to be ideal for things like coding or running build scripts or anything like that.

The closest I found was the Modos Paper Laptop, but seems to still be in the prototype phase.

Does this form factor exist yet? Am I just having trouble finding them because of the current state of search?

It looks like Windows 10 users are NOT upgrading to Windows 11 because they do NOT want to get those AI Bing CoPilot crap.

So when you want to buy a Linux-first ready made laptop, you buy it from @system76 if you’re in the US, and from @tuxedocomputers if you’re in Europe.

Did i miss someone?
