Ahh yeah the price is a waiting game for me, Apple products hold onto their value and for me having the bleeding edge isn’t what I’m chasing these days.

Guess I’ll wait and see how the Qualcomm products go on the used market for their price.

I got my 4800hs for a steal; maybe I need to aim lower.

Linux on Qualcomm laptops really that bad? I’ve been considering a purchase of a 1st gen once the 2nd gen comes out (probably grab an ex display model on the cheap).

I’ve not been following developments closely enough, but I know the battery life (in windows at least) is tiers better than my current 4800hs / 1650 with 65% battery health.

I’ve too considered a MacBook, but their never within my budget for the spec that I want, guess I was too hopeful about Qualcomm laptops 😞

Oh man, brings me back to blackbox / xoblite on my old XP machine.

I remember using notepad to change the config files, no auto formatting or error checking.

Had no idea what I wanted out of it but I loved the minimal aesthetic.

Is this like nix with extra steps?

Kidding, but sounds interesting if I ever want to venture away from nix
