Nvidia graphics, weird. Looks like a Macbook. Also not a huge fan of Gnome, but still good to see them get some support.
21 0 ReplyIt's not a gaming laptop. It's marketed as a productivity laptop - now all the rave is ML and DL so you need cuda.
11 0 ReplyThat thing only has 4GB VRAM, which is kinda useless these days for ML. Even the most basic LLMs and text>image models need at least 6-8GB minimum. I know, there could be other lightweight applications too, but realistically speaking I don't see anyone buying this laptop for ML/DL needs, even if it's just a basic requirement.
14 0 ReplyWhat are ML and DL?
The laptop seems a bit expensive and I don’t know how repaireable and upgradeable it is, but it’s good to have some brand engaged with Linux .
3 0 ReplyThat's a fair point, though I can't imagine doing any of that kind of work on an ultralight, or whatever this is.

It looks nice, the specs are great, and I want one, but seriously... Nvidia? Why?
19 0 ReplyYeah, that’s plain ridiculous.
2 0 ReplyAre there any Linux laptops with AMD based dedicated graphics? 🫤
1 0 ReplyHuh. Now that you mention it, all the linux-focused manufacturers seem to be using Nvidia for dedicated graphics. That is so weird.

Yeah, that kinda makes me think this was a rubber-stamp management approval/deal, and not "hardware picked for linux".

It is Slimbook Executive 16 with Fedora branding. And that's good because Executive 16 seems like a great machine.
I'd love to see 14" based version tho.
