Why would they put a nvidia graphics card in that thing? Of all the silly things to do...
- For a second I thought you were joking, but yep, there it is.
  How are Nvidia GPUs with Wayland these days?
  
  A lot better but still not as good as AMD
- DaVinci Resolve?
I wrote with them.
They reported they already tried Coreboot but hat lots of issues, thats why they are back with proprietary Firmware.
Sad...
tell me I did not just look this thing up and see a barrel jack power port 🤢
my 2017 laptop charges by USB-C, this hardware looks gorgeous in every other way but the only excuse for a barrel jack is if you need to move more than 100 watts, and even that last holdout for the barrel jack is dated
It can charge by USB-C apparently, but the barrel jack is still there 😔
- barrel jacks are less likely to break, I've had laptops with barrel jack charging ports that are still working for 15 years but I've had two malfunctioning USB-C ports in phones that were less than 4 years old.
  
  Is that really a fair comparison? Due to both usage and battery capacity you would probably do way more connector insertions on a phone than on a laptop in the same span of time
- I use both USB c charging and barrel jack charging for my labtop
  Anyway this things useless to me as it has nvidia graphics
