The cheapest Purism seems to be $300 more than the cheapest System76. Is the purpose of your comment to say that more expensive laptops are better?

- monochromatic 9y agoIs that a controversial idea, that more expensive things are often better?
- yjftsjthsd-h 9y agoI might not phrase it that way, but notice that it's not exactly a one-to-one correlation. Given, y'know, that we are busy discussing hardware to run Linux... Which is free in both senses. It's a stronger correlation in hardware, but still imperfect; one brand being higher quality than another while undercutting them by a couple hundred dollars wouldn't shock me.
- craftyguy 9y ago> Is the purpose of your comment to say that more expensive laptops are better? Uh, no. The purpose of my comment is to point out there's a company that builds and sells Linux laptops that are of higher quality. They've put in a lot of work to support Coreboot, disable ME, and have a working TPM. They are trying to reduce their dependence on non-free software. It's a coincidence that in this case you 'get what you pay for'.
