My lenovo + ubuntu combo is pretty neat
I loved my lenovo laptop. My sister had the exact same laptop and both of our laptops hinges broke. The metal hinges are to strong for the plastic chassis and eventually snaps it. So when you open the laptop, the bottom splits open in half. The performance and keyboard and screen were great. But the hinges are utterly fucked. I looked online and it seems to be a common problem. But they were not willing to repair it without having to pay like half the price of the actual laptop…
Which model?
“finally” as if system 76 doesn’t already exist.
The Clevo OEM laptops that make up most of System76 laptop offerings are getting worse and louder over time. I’ve had two successive Oryx pros that both had persistent hardware issues that outlasted my warranty coverage, the 2nd of which was simply producing more heat than 3 air cooled heat pipes could ever hope to account for. I know why they stopped selling that particular model of Oryx something like 3 months before the next one was available.
Yeah its a shame they aren’t better manufacturers out there for this sort of market. Even first party hardware seems pretty trash these days long gone are the days when a boutique PC manufacturer would go out of their way to make something that stands out. Falcon Northwest is the last holdout I know of and even they are nothing like they used to be.
Framework’s doing a pretty good job standing out for laptops anyways, with their user-repairability focus.
