Still no CoreBoot support, so it’s a hard pass for me. I wish they worked on it, they promised it back in 2020.
Don’t let perfect be the enemy of good
I think they’re still hiring coreboot devs on their career page. Maybe they’re not willing to pay enough?
I lost all interest the moment I saw that it has no dedicated GPU.
Why would you want one in a laptop?
They produce too much heat
I’d imagine for graphics intensive tasks and they’ll have to be moving the device around?
Then you would use an external gpu
So every time you move say from home to school you’d have to bring an external device? What’s the point of that?
Yeah mean like how you’re bringing the laptop?
I’d also recommend an external drive of some sort, and a keyboard/mouse
So someone needs the extra gpu power from a dGPU in a handy form factor like laptop and you suggest an external gpu for… what benefit? I don’t get it. Seems like you’ve just made the moving around part more cumbersome for no extra benefit.
If you think moving around a laptop + gpu dock is more cumbersome than moving a desktop around then good on you
Compared to laptops with a built in dGPU then the benefits are lifespan, power, affordability
Plenty of laptops have dedicated GPUs, and framework is actually releasing one with a dedicated GPU.
Why would you want a laptop that can do some CPU tasks but falls on its ass when doing GPU tasks? Seems ridiculous to buy a laptop capable of only doing half as many things. Integrated graphics are garbage.
I wouldn’t but my girlfriend does, despite me trying to explain to her why desktops are better. I don’t buy laptops.
