Technically speaking, the worst parts is that their SSD is quite slow compared to Macs, and they ship wireless cards that don't support DFS on the 5ghz frequency, that's getting more and more necessary for solid deploy of a 5Ghz network. Not supporting DFS means that you can't use it on a 5Ghz DFS network.
The QHD version has a nice screen but it's hard to use it at its best in Linux, especially when using an external monitor (you can't configure different PPIs on the two monitors because of limitations on X; I know you can try to use Wayland but it's not what it's being shipped; YMMV).
This said, it's obviously a very nice laptop.
- NhanH 10y agoYou can configure two different PPIs, but you need a WM that supports it. Basically you start two X servers with two different PPIs. Not specifically to the laptop but last time I used awesome (the tiling VM) with a 4k and a 1080 monitors.
- oarsinsync 10y agoCan you then move windows between screens / X server instances?
- NhanH 10y agoNo, in fact for a couple of programs (Chrome to be the prominent one), if you want to change X server instances you have to make sure it's really close. Also I think copy and paste doesn't work.
