Apple Silicon had a process node advantage over the Core 100 and 200 series due to having a better allocation with TSMC. Now Intel's process node is also SOTA and on par with TSMC 2nm so they should be more or less equivalent and the o

Intel GPUs have never been that bad... In the past they were simply small because the expectation was they'd be paired with a dGPU. The Core series has GPUs on par with or even slightly bigger than most of the Ryzen AI series (look up

AMD Ryzen AI 400 is built on TSMC 4nm and Panther Lake is on Intel's 18A so Intel is literally a generation ahead for this product cycle and wins hands down...

Well, Intel was kind of in the dumps because their process fell behind. They didn't bet on EUV and got leapfrogged by TSMC and Samsung who did use ASML's EUV technology. They eventually got on the EUV train and were the first cus

Forget fractional scaling, just keep scale at 100% and increase font and icon sizes.

I don't see why it wouldn't? I have a 16" MSI laptop with an 11th gen Intel processor (known for horrible battery life), I use Arch/Hyprland and it gets 5-6 hours with a battery degraded to 68%. Which is still in the

No, because most of the estimates are wonky as hell. For one, calories from silage don't exactly translate directly to calories humans can make use of. Second, most estimates are worst case only and ignore the fact most animals are p

Fn keys usually double as media keys so I use them a lot, as do most laptop users I know.

It'll increase the size of the case by a small amount but a battery cell is a battery cell... Rip open an old device and you'll see.

Apple and Microsoft are also subject to US laws. It's not like any company can get around this.

While this is true, if standard keyboards were bad then everyone who uses them would have issues, yet many (most?) don't. Sometimes I think it comes down to actual typing technique. For example. I've heard of "Emacs pinky&qu

EU citizens have specific avenues to complain and get compensation for stuff like this so hopefully the user in question uses it.

I've heard this but I've personally been typing this way for 25+ years (wrists on the rest, including on laptops exclusively for the last 15) and my wrists are fine. Meanwhile people I know with ergonomic keyboards and everything

Yes. It was as easy to use as Windows was like 30 years ago. It's still easy to use. The only difficult part about Linux is the fact that people can't learn, so absolutely anything being different from Windows is a roadblock to

There will be a 2 week ceasefire, western countries will move ships out of the straight, the Saudis will reroute oil, the 10 point plan is idiotic and the US will have an easy excuse to resume bombing them.
