MacBooks, especially the new M1/M2 are pretty much the best built laptops you can buy. I’ve run Linux laptops before (Dell XPS, System76) and always wanted better build quality and battery life.
I am now running Asahi Linux on a M2 Air, because that’s the best combination for a user like me.
- synergy20 4y agoM1 and M2 are both chiplet design, it has quite a few accelerators hardware built in(e.g. neural network unit), are those supported? or currently only the CPU and (built-in) GPU are used? if all those units are fully supported, e.g. I can use its NPU to train a machine learning model, I may get a M2 laptop too.
- captn3m0 4y agoThe coprocessors (TouchID, SecureEnclave, NNE) are not yet supported. These will be next in line once the webcam/mic/speakers are fully functional, so probably worth waiting a bit more (few months?) if this is critical. Most of my usage is browsing, emails, and light development - so it works good enough for now. If I need a GPU, I run Jupyter on my homeserver with a 1050Ti.
