  I’m already using linux, but my laptop is an older dell with a 5th? Gen i5 dual core. Still works fine, but i had to jankily push down on the keyboard ribbon cable with a piece of cardboard, still has sata ssd, screen could be nicer, bezels are an inch wide, etc. This an oportunity to get an uograde if companies are going to dump perfectly good hardware.

    Valid. I just but PopOS on my Lenovo and it works perfectly. Hell I put it on an old surface book too and it works great lol

  I’m waiting for decent support for the snapdragon x elite chips. From what i can tell from discourse online it’s still a very rough experience with linux.

  I don’t want to drop £1500 on a laptop i can’t really use.
