I am really excited for this and consider buying a second gen next year if they support Linux. But $2000 + tax for a quad core is pretty brutal (i7-1185G7).
I got a 14” notebook with a Ryzen 7 4800H for less than 1000€ from a small vendor (Tuxedo).
Hard to choose this as it stands. Still I would support them and pay the markup. Hopefully they can support AMD CPUs in their next models.
- nrp 5y agoJust a note that the Base configuration that starts at $999 is also a quad core, the i5-1135G7. The i7-1185G7 is really only necessary if you need vPro for enterprise fleet management reasons (we also have a i7-1165G7 SKU for folks who want higher clocks but not vPro).
- ruph123 5y agoOkay but that does not make it better. A slightly higher boost clock on one hand vs a strong octa-core CPU on the other (and this is last year’s generation).
- COGlory 5y agoAre you able to elaborate on why there's no AMD option? I've preordered a DIY one, with the hope that down the line I can put an AMD main board in. (Still undecided on whether I'll want it if that never becomes an option)
- nrp 5y agoWe designed our mainboard system to be able upgradeable to future CPU platforms. We have nothing we can share around that today, but it's a core part of the product!
