With modern 13 and 14 inch laptops, bezels really matter.
The point of these is to be portable, smaller bezels lead to a lot more portable laptop. It is the reason I'd pass on this laptop.
We do need a decent macbook-like linux laptop. One that has a solid chassis, looks good, is portable and has a decent keyboard. Currently. the dell XPS line is probably the closest match. Otherwise, lenovo thinkpads, though lenovo does not have the best track record.
Personally I chose a lenovo because I got a good deal, ad the keyboard is quite good. But more choice would've been great.
- SkyMarshal 10y agoDoes Apple have a patent on the exact dimensions of the MacBook Pro? I'd love a purpose-built Linux laptop that was compatible with all the hardcases and whatnot for the MBP.
- thoughtpalette 10y agoThe Razerblade is a beautiful machine imo (I use a 16' MBP). Can just wipe the window installation and boot your linux distro of choice.
- zanecodes 10y agoI own a 2015 Razer Blade 14 and am overall fairly happy with it, just be aware that it is a gaming machine first and foremost, and as such has very mediocre (~5 hour web browsing) battery life. This is compounded by the notoriously bad power management on most Linux distros, and there are some minor driver support issues (mostly due to the NVidia 970M). I ran Manjaro on mine for a few months before going back to Windows 10 after Windows Subsystem for Linux came out, mostly for gaming reasons.
