I have multiple times postponed buying new computers for YEARS, because I'm waiting for intel to get their head out of their ass and actually let me buy something that does ECC for desktop. (incl laptops)
I would have bought computers when I "wanted one". Now I buy them when I need one. Because buying a non-ECC computer just feels like buying a defective product.
In the last 10 years I would have bought TWICE as many computers if they hadn't segmented their market.
Fuck intel. I sense that Linus self-censored himself in this post, and like me is even angrier than the text implies.
- vbezhenar 6y agoThere are plenty of Xeons which are suitable for desktops and there are plenty of laptops with Xeons. Price is not nice though.
- skibbityboop 6y agoHave you finally stopped buying Intel? Current Ryzens are a much better CPU anyhow, just dump Intel and be happy with your ECC and everything else.
- knorker 6y agoI'm in the market for a new laptop (since a few years). Is there something like the X1 carbon but with ECC?
