Stuff like a pretty case with slots for optical drives, a laptop with a shitton of ports and all-day battery life or anything else that seems to go against the trends.

This thread is for complaining about how you can’t find it and (maybe) finding it thanks to someone else.

    last i looked at them (some time ago now) they either:

    • had very out of date hardware
    • were incredibly expensive for what they offered
    • the only middle ground model that seemed fitting for my purposes (gaming wouldn’t be on that list but linux indeed) was nowhere to be found.

    i should probably have a look at their models again in the near future, thanks for reminding me. are you happy with yours (and willing to share which model you use)

      I think the one I have is called the GPD win max 2011. There was a choice between the AMD and Intel processors. I think I went with intel to have thunderbolt (I have an E-GPU enclosure if I ever need more power) but it does everything I throw at it.

      Very happy with it. I can play AAA games, it’s portable, touch screen is nice, has a touch pad too. Charges with USB-C which is super handy for me.
