Everything was perfect after a quick change to a 1920 x 1080 resolution.
That really grates. This person is supposed to be a technology journalist? And they've never heard of changing the font size?
Came here to say this. The display has a resolution of 2880 x 1800 pixels. And this โjournalistโ tells me, that it looks good with a configured resolution of 1920 x 1080. Tells a lot about the quality of this review.
What do you expect from a person who cannot install an OS (or at least does not consider it)?
Afaik this is the normal way of doingโs it on a Mac.
Out of the box, the laptop opted for the highest resolution possible, which made everything way too small for my aging eyes. Everything was perfect after a quick change to a 1920 x 1080 resolution.
... well that's certainly one way of wasting smooth gradients. I'd suggest zooming icons and text instead :)
Great review.
Or using interface scaling overall, most DE's have interface scaling or HDPI mode.
EDIT Including KDE Plasma which the journalist appeared to be using.
All laptops are linux laptops.
Well. Almost.
Pretty surprised at how well it works on laptops now, almost everything worked out of the box for me with the exception of some RGB lights but that's just a matter of probing the EC
Had less problems post-install than Win10, couldn't even install Win11 (I'm not making a microsoft account)
It's been a year now and I'm never going to install windows on my machines again, thank god
And its ridiculously expensive
There's a reason why. These Linux laptops have the expense of testing hardware for compatibility, while also being fairly niche since most consumers aren't buying Linux laptops.
But still, paying 1.6k for a laptop with 2 SSDs (a rarity) is quite fair IMO.
Every laptop is expensive :O
This ist great, thank you!
