I'm okay with blank hardware, I've done all my desktop builds for more than 25 years (and recently did the SSD upgrade on a SteamDeck). I just never new there was anything similar available on the laptop market. My concern was more with paying for a Windows license or having hardware that was a subpar choice for linux drivers. I will definitely be learning more!

The only AMD model I'm seeing is the Pangolin with a AMD Radeon 680M. That wouldn't be bad since it is roughly equivalent to the GTX 1650 I have now and probably way more efficient. Or do they have something newer that hasn't released yet?
That's great to hear, from what little I have picked up from this community, I was leaning towards POP for my first attempt.
A DIY laptop???!!! I had no idea such a thing existed, I will definitely be looking into this.
I've never cared about running high quality graphics, medium is fine for me. I'm more concerned with fan noise than graphics. My current system is fine for things like Skyrim and Sims 4, but for something like BG3 I'm streaming from my desktop.
Is there a reverse version of this where all the brownies are middle brownies? That's the version I want.
Thanks! I notice that all of their gaming laptops have an NVIDIA GPU, but I see people complaining about NVIDIA drivers here regularly, is that an issue I should be concerned with? I would hope a system prebuilt for linux would have taken that into account, but I don't know that much about the complaints.
My (soon to be ex) company gets around the rebuild step by doing annual layoffs.
Hey, I've been there! Related to Christmas, every year Nevada City has a Victorian Christmas celebration where they all dress fancy and neighboring Grass Valley has Cornish Christmas, that seems to celebrate the working class. Total speculation on my part, I'm guessing in the 1800s all the mine owners lived in Nevada City and all the miners lived in Grass Valley.
I pretty much only buy cables (of any kind) from Monoprice.
That's funny! Next they should face a heatwave of climate lawsuits...
Lol, it's a small thing, but I definitely wouldn't mind having a different key for a non-Windows machine.
