- not since 2000, some dell "latitude"?
- looked at thinkpad x1
- terrible reviews
- ugly eraser is still there
- for a "linux laptop", didn't seem to care much about linux
- as a hardware mfctr, you can't ask me to go download an install cd and dig up custom drivers off random websites for you. that's your responsibility.
- 2 things i wanted PC laptops to have fixed since 2000:
- sleep works (you can close the lid) without hard-crashing or requiring a power-off
- wifi that can stay online for a few days without requiring a reboot
- even reviews of things like the thinkpad would sheepishly admit that this still wasn't working 20 years later
- sleep and wifi surprisingly "just work"
- trackpad "just works"
- mouse keys are jank, but trackpad touch-drag and 2-finger control-click and 2-finger scroll "just work"
- offset keyboard is super weird. in general, pc keyboards are super weird. scroll lock? num lock has its own key?
- there are 4 keys for adjusting the keyboard backlighting brightness and color :D
- secret key Fn-1 locked the fan at full blast for 8 hours and scared me -- is this normal?
- has 2 fan speeds: off, full blast
- os is ubuntu + gui
- setup was pretty sleek, A++ for a pc
- gui is very minimal (thats good)
- setxkbmap
- command = super = desktop/app switcher
- using control as command is very awk, but seems very difficult to change
- terrible in a terminal, which is 50% of linux life... who thought this was a good idea? ^A ^C
- nextcloud integration!
- weirdly missing:
- any git tool on par with fork/tower
- a sonos client
- a decent terminal app (?!)
- minecraft was pretty jank until i tweaked graphics settings and found a hidden "turn off keyboard while using trackpad" option
