I am very fond of my Asus VivoBook_K712EA The uEFI implementation is solid. The BIOS can be updated directly from the firmware setup menu without need for a specific OS It uses Intel Isis graphics and Intel WiFi and Intel HD Audio. Bluetooth, WiFi and Audio are flawless. Battery life is excellent. If I were forced to find anything negative, it would be the contrast on the keyboard legends. One of my many shortcomings in this life is that I never learned to touch type. Eric Waller On 7/22/23 15:10, Polarian wrote:
Hello,
Although this is a little off topic because this is hardware relating to Arch Linux and not Arch Linux itself, I am curious to see what others use.
ArchWiki has laptop pages, but that doesn't show what people prefer to use with Arch Linux.
So I have a few questions:
- What Laptop do you use currently for Arch Linux? - What do you use the Laptop for? - If you could buy any Laptop for Arch Linux right now, what would you buy?
I got a feeling there will be a range of responses, some standing behind old Lenovo Thinkpads, and some vouching for modern laptops.
One final question, is there any Laptop company you feel will be a good asset to the Linux community as a whole? Or better, Arch Linux directly :P
If you respond, thank you for your time :)
Have a good night,
