I'm on the hunt for my next laptop and I'd really like to have a rock solid portable that runs Linux, but my past experience with Dell indicates inferior hardware and construction to Mac.
I looked at the 2020 Macbook Air (the $~1300 model), and it seems to offer the same or better specs (depending how much you value the display) for the price. Are we at the point where we must pay a premium NOT to run OSX, or am I missing something? I don't love the direction OSX has headed, but I'm still content enough running it and using Linux remotely where needed.
- petepete 6y agoLenovo announced yesterday that Thinkpads pre-loaded with Fedora are on their way. Their X1 Carbon line already work extremely well with Linux.

- bproven 6y agoare the system76s better? I heard the hw was kinda iffy (crap) in the past. One of the reason I decided against it about 2 years abgo when I bought my Lenovo X1 carbon (for Linux). The Lemur looks interesting (nice you can get it with more than 16GB RAM in 14")... wonder how the quality is on it though
