Neat! I've had a rpm/red-hat based OS (mostly Fedora) on Thinkpads for years now. I'll check this out.
Also interesting they chose to compare to System76, presumably it's because it ships with Linux, but I feel like a real comparison would be with Dell or Acer offerings.
> Let’s focus on the hardware in the spotlight now. And lest you think I’ve lost my ability to be critical, I’ll open with this: the bezels on this beast look comically oversized for a laptop in 2020. I understand the P53 isn't a sexy ultrabook and isn’t trying to win any thinness awards. I also get that the thicker bezels reinforce the durability of the display panel.
Aye, I think bezels are flimsy and lead to lots of fingerprints on the edges. I don't buy Thinkpads because they're sleek and sexy, I buy them because they're robust and starkly elegant. Same idea as having a small/mid-sized pickup truck: I don't need it to be pretty, I just need it to be reliable and functional enough for regular use.
Odd choices of gaming comparisons though -- Dawn of War III & DiRT Rally, but not LoL, Overwatch, Red Dead Redemption, etc.
