Do you guys think it is ok for a 1350€ laptop? Here is the link to the store page if you interested having a look.
Thank you for reading.
Thank you for your answer. Ye, frameworks laptops are pretty expensive. Do you think for the price, the TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro 15 - Gen9 - AMD is worthy? I like the screen, and the battery life is also good. The CPU is somewhat pretty powerful and for my daily usage would be more than enough.
The integrated graphic would be only for light gaming which is ok, since i have a Steam Deck.
I was just curious about any feedbacks on the company.
I'm afraid I don't know much about the company, I'll look into them. It does seem very decent for the price though! With linux I'd expect you could get alot more battery life with some TLP configuration. I'm just curious why you'd want such a powerful cpu if you already have a steam deck?
I need a laptop for studying, my current one is heavy and the battery doesn't last much. + I want something that could last at least 5-6 years if not more.
My budget is around that price, because i know i will not replace it any time soon.
All good ideas!
I've done some reading: They seem to just be shipping preconfigured linux installations(ubuntu), and thats one of their big selling points. I personally don't agree with this, because the tinkering is one of the big things for me. They don't seem to advertise anything besides Linux or Linux-related things. It's a cool idea, but I don't recommend paying any extra money for them to preinstall Ubuntu(which has been known to have telemetry). All the software seems to be available in all the major repos, so compatibility should be fine in other distros. But from a hardware perspective it looks like a great deal!
