I bought a Purism machine over a year ago, and I'm pretty happy with it. I looked at System76 but they didn't look great back then. What's the basis of your statement?
- Jeaye 7y agoThe best Purism laptops ship with a Core i7 7500U (Kabylake) dual core processor. I've been using at least quad core processors in laptops for literally over a decade, so that just doesn't cut it. My statement wasn't against Purism's quality, principle, or anything other than the fact that their laptops and non-laptops (Purism server) are weak sauce compared to what you can get with System76.
- marcus_holmes 7y agoI believe (and I could be wrong) that the reason Purism lags behind the leading edge of processors is because they're busy disabling Intel Management Engine. Does this figure into your estimates at all?
