With discounts I was able to price one of Lenovo’s at CAD 7K (USD 5K). I haven’t had a new laptop in 9 years, with the last being a $2K Yoga in 2017.

I play games, home lab, and really want to take a deeper dive in to local LLM’s. If it were to last me 9 years again, I could maybe reason through it as a huge treat to myself. It’s tempting but in the end I can never justify pulling the trigger.

But I also want to main Linux. Gaming on ARM is progressing thanks to FEX but not a guarantee, and as evidenced by the write up there are a lot of workarounds to get Linux going. I’d worry that too much time would be spent tinkering with just getting/keeping the laptop running rather than doing the stuff that I want on it.

I haven’t touched them in years, but I adored them all.

Pray tell, what script?

It’s obvious they didn’t call it AI because it’s SI

That was my first question as well. I dont remember seeing anything on the C series

Squadron 42 is included in whatever I backed.

For sure. And while the CPU comment is valid (and funny), I’m suggesting that it’s also being carried by required minimum hardware that didn’t even exist during that CPU’s production run.

I’m not sure you could get an 8GB GPU in 2012 - could you? And 16GB of RAM wasn’t really a consideration for most.

I looked it up and I backed this thing in October of 2012. I’ve played 0 minutes of this game. Talk about return on investment.

My goodness

The good news is, when AI has destroyed the Internet and all forms of entertainment, I’ll finally be able to work through my games backlog as there will be nothing worthwhile to stay up to date on.

Windows on ARM with Snapdragon processors is a regular thing right now. I don’t know how well they are selling or how well they perform, but it is definitely past Windows RT 2.0 already. I am pretty sure they are doing x86 comparability.
