    Interesting, but not terribly surprising. The “gamer” is probably choosing something like Alienware, the “Windows power user” / “business user” is probably picking Lenovo, and the general consumer is going cheap.

    I will say as a Linux user that these do look damn cool and if I was shopping for laptops, it’d be the frontrunner.

      I could be wrong but Razer and Legion seem like stronger gamer brands compared to Alienware these days.

      i’ve been boggling over that part; it doesn’t have anywhere near the same battery life like mac or coreboot does.

        I’ve been reading 20 hours of battery life while streaming. Battery life doesn’t improve the experience beyond a certain point, my XPS with Debian gets about 6 hours, my M1 MBA get about 8, I really don’t need more than 8 hours.

        I prefer standby as a measure of usefulness my MBA can sleep for weeks, my XPS can only last 4-5 days.

            Oh ok, I thought you were referring to a test result when you said it doesn’t come anywhere near the MBP. I just heard that it’s supposed to be about the same.
