Recommend me a laptop with good hardware like a macbook but not a macbook because I want it to run linux.I don't care about gaming, but a nice keyboard and screen is important.
T480>b-but I need s-you need a T480
>>106428437Framework
>>106428453but I already have a T480s. I'm using it right now.
>>106428437$2,600. About the same price as what you posted with the ROG, but you're getting the 5080 mobile with this instead of the 5070ti mobile.Oh, and AMD > Isratel CPUs
>>106428871This is used- like new. It's $3000 new
Loonix doesn't work with Nvidia GPUs and your battery will literally DIE
>>106428437Buy a maxed out T series ThinkPad."Gaming" Laptops = Bad Hardware btw
>>106428453>good screenalso the battery is a giant fucking turd
>>106428437I like my P14s Gen 5 stinkpad except the screen.Mine has an IPS and it's dreadful, get the OLED.
>>106429005okay cool I'll check it out
>>106428437I guess a surface laptop cause its also aluminum frame and runs ARM
>>106429061I thought arm doesn't work well with linux yet
>>106429084I think it can emulate x86 as well but idk.
any laptop from a major brand that has decent specs.
>>106428998I get that the stock screen is pretty bad (even though you can easily swap it for a much better panel anyway) but what's wrong with the battery? I can use mine for like 12 hours on a single charge
>>106428437i have pic related and am running linux on it. its exactly what you want, and does everything. gaming, hypervisor, nice keyboard, nice screen, nice speakers. best laptop purchase ive ever made. requires alot of tinkering to get things working but once you have it setup nicely its the comfiest linux experiand you can ask for and theres a good community if you need help.
>>106428437https://fwupd.org/lvfs/vendors/Dell or Lenovo to get automatic firmware updates via fwupd
>>106428437T14s or X1 Carbon. The latter weighs less but has less battery life.
>>106432129do you mean you have the laptop in OP pic, or did you forget to post an image?
>>106433078oops i had another pic of it, but yes the laptop in OP's pic
>>106435510alright, that's really good to hear.
>>106428437Funny enough the gaming laptop, Asus ROG zephyrus, is the most Macbook like thing you are going to get hardware quality wise.
>>106428871I have two of those, : D : D : D< _<They heat a lot...
>>106432129I have a Zephyrus g15 (2022) and the screen sucks dick. My acer aspire R15 from 2017 has a much better panel. I even move movies and tv shows over to it to watch on that because the difference is so big.Also, the Zephyrus is hot all the time for no reason. No applications open, just Firefox with ublock watching a Youtube video and the goddamn thing is hot. Always.There are only 2 usb type-a ports and they are both in terrible positions.It has some kind of matte plastic case. The aluminum or brushed stainless steel on my old acer is much better. The ROG software is shit. I hate this goddamn thing and wish I never bought it.

>>106428437cheap 2012 macbook, replace the shitty HDD to an SSD.
>>106428940everything this guy posted is 100% wrong
thinkpads are the best
Bump. My MacBook literally just died and now I want something else.
>>106428437a macbook
>>106428484>>106429430I use an X1 Carbon, which I'd recommend, but I'm also certainly buying a Framework next.
>>106428871>RGBLGBTno thanks
>>106428437Ditch troonix and get a Macbook.
>>106429084correct, its a pain
>>106428871This is how you get into trouble. You just find the highest spec gaming laptop that you can find with the best chips advertised and then max it out without actually looking into the backstory or history of how the company produces their laptops, their reputation, or what other people have said about the build quality or thermals.
>>106439535they fixed most of those issues with the 2024/2025 models
>>106428437Just bumping to keep the thread alive. It's grim out there linux bros.
>>106428871I would not touch anything MSI with a 10 foot poleHad so many RMAs for these when I worked in retail years ago, even had a display unit fail. From what I've seen they haven't got much better.Kind of ironic that they went for a Italian Car manufacturer like logo because like Italian cars they might be pretty fast and look good but they're unreliable.
>>106448318I have a 5.5 years old MSI at home (used as my home server nowadays). trackpad is shit, keyboard is alright (though it's the only brand I've seen use ANSI in my country, normally we use ISO), battery life is garbage, heats up quite a lot, original battery got swollen less than a year after I bought it (though I still kept that battery for a few more years before I swapped it and it didn't give me trouble), and like quite a few of their models one of the wifi antennas was located behind the GPU so when it was using the dGPU I'd lose wifi completely (was solved by physically relocating the antenna)wouldn't recommend, that's why now I use it as my server and stick to my Thinkpads for daily use
You would need dual cpu. Also you would need 32 core cou because llvmpipe and compiler shit overhead, and you would not like laptop anymore.
>>106447780Seconding.
>>106428437Get a gaming lenovo
>>106428437Speaking of MacBook, how mature is Asahi linux on M1 macs? Still half baked or what?
i want that one in the OP
Thinkpad P14
>>106428437Just get the cheapest macbook air and a cheap minipc to run linux on.
>>106428437>hardware like a macbookHuawei Matebook X tho I would never get one, want from laptop to be as different from macbook as possible.
>>106428437Macbook, its UNIX based and you dont really have other reasons to use linux
>>106428437Used HP elitebook
>>106428437How light or heavy you want that laptop to be?A 16" gaming notebook could weigh anywhere between 2 (some slims) and 2.6 kg ( 4.4 and 5.7 lbs for those, who can't metric).A non-gaming variant would be between 1.5 and 1.9kg (3.3 and 4.2 lbs).You get the idea.Also, you might not care about gaming, but still care about dGPU.
>>106428437They also have models that compete with the top-of-the-line Stinkpads, price-wise.If any of you retards ever start a job at FAGMAN and get to pick your hardware, you can do your part and divert some of those funds into more FOSS-oriented vendors.But who am I joking.Niggas.
>>106453013I'm self-employed and looking to consider a new laptop soon. Redpill me on system76, and especially how they compare to framework and tuxedo>best CPU they offer is an HX370Reeee why does almost nobody make laptops with the 395, my only choice is a 14'' from HP or some massive gaming laptop with a dGPU I don't need
>>106453052>Reeee why does almost nobody make laptops with the 395I suppose because most professionals with fat CPU requirements would prefer to use a low-power laptop and remote login to their workstations.>Redpill me on system76That '76' is short for 1776, which is Burger slang for Freedom.They were supposed to have become available in the EU at the end of 2022, but it appears that has been delayed.I've only completely switched over to Linux in 2024, so I'm kinda new to the scene.But they have Coreboot, that alone should mean someone should shove some money up their asses.
>>106449691full support is not happening, maybe never.linus spit in asahi's facecreator quit.one of the main devs switched to something else.thunderbolt (displays) will probably never be supported.
>>106428437tongfangeluktronics if you are a mutt or tuxedo if you are a euroid (redistributors)
>>106453595M1 fags are cooked then when Timmy decided to axe support after MacOS 27. Respect to asahi devs for trying I guess, but what good is a half baked product for doing any actual work. I’ve heard you can at least game on asahi now so there’s that….
>>106453130>I suppose because most professionals with fat CPU requirements would prefer to use a low-power laptop and remote login to their workstations.I've tried that, it sucks. All your tooling needs to be latency-aware and there's just always something getting in the way.
>>106428871Both AMD and Intel have research centers in Israel. There is nowhere for antisemites to hide. The walls are closing in.
>>106428437>asusdied exactly 3 years on the date I registered the warrantyand by died I mean asus sent the kill command
>>106453957>Respect to asahi devs for trying I guessNo, no respect at allThis was an entirely predictable end resultI called this years ago when they startedhttps://desuarchive.org/g/thread/83992086/#84033697Rosenzweig was convinced to work on Asahi by HectorApple sold a lot of M1 Airs to freetards on the false hope it would run LinuxThe project failedRozensweig should have continued working on ARM chromebooks and panfrostInstead, Rozensweig just accepted a job to work at IntelSomeone who used to run libreboot because of Intel ME backdoorsThat someone just went to work for Intel
