Is it reasonably high quality? I'm thinking of getting one but have been scared that it's a big meme because I havent seen any longterm reviews. It seems like parts could fall off etc but I've never held one so I don't know.
Yes its a high quality product. I was also skeptical so i waited for 12th gen, as i had a friend that preordered one the minute they were anounced. Ive had mine for a bit less than a year, my friend closer to two, and neither of us have had any hardware issues.
Obviously theyre still a young company, so theres still some risk i guess. But its probably my favorite laptop ive had.
Its not all sunshine and rainbows obviously, there are a couple things that could be better. The speakers are meh, the screen is ok, but in my case these were not things i was worried about
How is the battery life ? Like, how long can you use it ?
Heard its better on windows, with the smaller battery i get around 7h from 90 to 0 on Gentoo with normal usage. Though ootb without any optimizations it was closer to 5h.
thanks
Gentoo...? You masochist :-)
