It has dual channel memory and USB-C PD and is running H series processors with a 54W TDP.
- analognoise 6y agoWhy not just buy it directly? I mean let's cut these crappy Linux shops out as middlemen.
- zanny 6y agoMost shops are just resellers but System76 and Purism do firmware and software attainment and development for some of their hardware. In that case you are paying to support the industry by buying a computer with comprehensive whole stack software support rather than it just being one of the lucky off the shelf OEM makes without major bugs.
- analognoise 6y agoI've bought a System76 before, it was terrible and I never bought another one.
- lhl 6y agoClevo and Tongfang are the ODMs for most of these white label laptops. I assume minimum orders are in the hundreds if not thousands of units, which is the main reason not to buy direct. That and you’ll have no warranty or other support, have to do your own customs, etc etc.
