    Oh! I'm so glad they have a 4k now! I actually considered a system76 laptop not too long ago because I really like them as a company, but a 4k display is a non-negotiable for the work I do, and they had none at the time.

      @Sony Alpha Adventure honestly, having to read/write text for 10+ hours a day is made *much better* having a crisp, nice 4k display. I'm a minimalist in many ways when it comes to my setup, but 4k screens are second only to the jump from HD to SSD in the quality-of-life improvement in a laptop.

    Welcome to the mixed resolutions nightmare, buddy! I have a main 4K monitor and two extra 1080p ones. I'm one of those crazy people who likes 100% scaling on 4K, even on my 32''display. A nice tip is using the large text option in GNOME's accessibility settings, that is the sweet spot for me, without changing scaling at all. And as far as the 1080p monitors go, the scale won't match but you get used to it very quickly

Sure you can use just the laptop, but I personally think this laptop is by default meant to be paired with external monitors considering the power it can utilize. Until we have this annoying issue fixed alongside battery issues we will never be able to cross that line where people buy linux machines.

    how good is the cooling though... what temps is the CPU and GPU hitting when pushing it to the max? Some gaming laptops can do that like 80C, while others with same specs have worse cooling and hit like 100C and start throttling. Thats more what I would want to know if I got one for gaming.

    I just don’t understand why the AMD options are so few and all the “performant” laptops come with an NVIDIA GPU.
    If I was going to be using Windows, sure, RTX 40 series all the way.
    I do not want to deal with the headache that is NVIDIA/Linux driver compatibility.
    I already deal with enough weird issues dual booting my desktop and just want something that works.
    Thing is, I’m not even an AMD guy. Every computer I’ve ever owned or built has had Intel and NVIDIA hardware.
    Still, for Linux and open source, AMD wins everyday. And when I finally go to spend money on AMD, their offerings are meager. Between Purism and System76, there’s like 3 to choose from that don’t have 40 series cards and all come with iGPU. And underwhelming parts for things like screens.
    Le sigh, concessions must be made I suppose..

    I'd love to have a nice aluminum shell, unfortunately the manufacturing isn't quite there yet to make that cheaply. Most will take a solid block and mill it, which is hyper expensive. A piece of sheet metal stamped into shape would be far easier and cheaper, but you'd have tiny little lips here and there that couldn't exist and allow for extra mount points and whatnot. So it's kind of a tradeoff unless they use steel, which has all sorts of problems too, but it would make welding easier so it could be more than just a stamping. Not that they can't weld aluminum, just that steel is easier.

You're the consumer, you're supposed to hate things that take away options from you, and that's exactly what apple loves doing on a regular basis. I understand you like your new M1 and apple did get many things right with it, but that shouldn't excuse their anti-consumer behavior or any things that they got wrong with it, because that's what they want - people to just accept anything they do as okay. It's not okay, and you shouldn't be okay with this. Those are your options that are being limited by a tech giant. By saying that's okay you're screwing over all the people for whom that's not okay.

And you CAN do things about it - write Apple a lovely email with your thoughts on their stance on repairability and upgradability or go support the right to repair movement. Be vocal about these issues on social media. That is way better than just not buying their products.
      About smartphones, it's sadly already the norm to have parts not be upgradable or even easily replacable, but also the argument could be made that they solder things and make the phone un-openable to save space and make the phone slimmer. The same can't be said about Apple that literally makes their devices not works with 3rd party standard parts like SSDs and require hacky workarounds. That's what you shouldn't be okay with, because it's deducting from the overall quality and ease of use of the product.
      I'm not trying to be a linux zealot here. I'm just trying to make a point that the less vocal people are about tech giants trying to limit their choices and control over the devices they buy and own, the more the companies are going to do it, because people are okay with it. That's why you shouldn't be okay with it.
