This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
I bought one for myself, and a high spec one for my wife's business. Mine is just a personal machine but I've been using it as a portable home server in my various moves. Very happy with both. They didn't seem a crazy amount more than similar spec machines in Europe
Not readily available in Australia, I associate it with Linus (not torvalds), they're expensive, and god knows if Trump does weird export import stuff the moment it ships, and if it needs repair, nobody would be unsurprised if Trump made us pay to ship it back
Yikes, XDA's reporting has really gone downhill since being bought out.
I haven't owned a laptop since smartphones and tablets took off. It's become a redundant form factor. Framework would be my go to choice if I ever did need one though.
They wont ship to my locale and actively block frieight forwarders, otherwise I would happily give them $10k for a couple high end computers.
Huh I didn't realize laptops weren't repairable. That's like, what I do for a living.
Mediocre and repairable hardware for premium prices is not for everyone. Most people probably want the most performance for the least amount of money without any regards or respect for money or the environment.
It probably doesn't help that they have been in some controversial drama either.
And let's not forget that Linus Sebastian from Linus Tech Tips is an investor as well. I don't want my money to go to that greedy turd who screwed over his own audience for money in pure greed, and when he became a rich turd he instantly became the very greedy person he used to hate on the WAN Show.
It's an attractive option, but it has a pretty hard competition from the 7th gen Thinkpad T14.
And many people want high quality repairable laptops.
Overpriced.
