I'm all for laptops that come with Linux as an option, but calling this a MacBook Pro alternative is a big stretch. People either buy the MBP for the build quality and materials, or for macOS, neither of which this seems to have - I'd give that title to Dell's XPS range at the moment.
Having said that - this Orion does seem like a decent laptop for the money, and I'm sure there are plenty of people who want a decent Linux machine without the price premium of Dell's XPS range who will happily go for something like this.
- synicalx 10y agoActually, I'd have to recommend avoiding the current 2-in-1 XPS's for a while if anyone is considering them as an option. We've got about 200 of them in the wild and about 70 of them either won't sleep or won't come out of sleep and have had to either go back to Dell or get their motherboards replaced. No idea what happened, normally they're up to a pretty high standard.
