Linux has never created hardware anywhere close to this beauty.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.
Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.
There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux" distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Hardware that doesn't feel any niche

>>60667117
all in one machines are nothing new
there's also no fucking point, it's basically a ULV laptop with a huge monitor and requires mains power to function.

If you're going to chain yourself to your desk, you might as well splurge on a powerful self-built computer.

Then you might as well get a chromebook and a bamboo fun and save a couple thousand dollars, micro$hill.

what a terrible comparison because that actually sounds like a genuinely sub-par experience beyond a few imperceptible milliseconds of execution time and smaller numbers in benchmarks that don't actually matter in everyday use

it's the polish of these "premium" shitboxes that gives them their appeal more than anything, acknowledging that doesn't make you a corporate strawman

Are you 12?

That display is simply gorgeous, too bad windows is shit.

Also, they released it months after Pascal, but still used fucking Maxwell mobile. The 980M is irrelevant compared to Pascal Mobile, even a 1070 would crush it.

TLDR:
Literally a outdated, gimped and non-upgradeable non-mobile laptop. No better than an iMac (At least Apple gives much cheaper options tho).

They're the ones who popularized it with the commoners and they're the ones everyone is copying.

THAT SURE DOESNT HAPPEN ON DESKTOP

oh wait, it does.

nice bezels shithead
does that come with a screen or you just need to plug one?

>>60667356

>USB-Type A
>For any reason

Fucking why. Hurry up and just switch everything to Type-C and be done with it. It's objectively a better port and if I'm paying hundreds of dollars for a laptop I can pay $5 for an adapter or two.

>>60667252
You're right, paying out my fucking colon for an underpower drawing tablet sounds like a great experience!

>>60667523
Type-A and micro are going to stay in use for years to come. Deal with it.

>Linux has never created hardware anywhere close to this beauty.
Linux is an operating system kernel, not a hardware manufacturer. Incidentally, it runs on fucking everything anyways. No matter what beautiful hardware you make, it will run Linux, or someone will port Linux to it.

>>60667117
yeah but i can just install linux on it

>>60667117
Great machine, if Apple shipped this the macfags would be clambering over each other to buy it.

How the fuck do you know what the hardware feels
Don't you fucking think even for a moment that you know what it feels you fucker
They have enough on their shoulders, no need for faggots like you to taunt them.

>>60667117
What the fuck is the point, tho?
You want some shitty all-in-one, go buy a mac.
>>60667154
^This guy gets it.

If you want "muh thin, light ultra-gay modern design", you're going to take a performance hit. We see this with Apple's macs and macbooks, we see this with Chromebooks, etc.

If you want a powerful machine, it's going to have to be big enough to fit powerful hardware in it. That means a big, chunky laptop like a ThinkPad, or, if you're going to put it on a desk and not move it around anyway, just build a fucking PC.

Shit, you can't even argue the OS matters any more, given how easy it is to build a hackintosh now.

Is Microsoft fucking retarded? why are they trying to compete in a market literally dominated by pic related and macfags when it is almost twice the cost and looks cheap and ugly?

You're better off building a decent rig and using a Cintiq.

>>60667117
that looks like fucking ass

System76 has never created anything close to that beauty.

When was the last time Apple used anything other than Aluminum or Plastic ?
And meanwhile we hace System76 who are just about to release their new Wonderful Desktop Line with Wooden Panels and real Design.

>>60672010
Barely enough for what?
980 is plenty for photo editing and most art stuff. It's no high end CAD workstation though.

>>60672199
>When was the last time Apple used anything other than Aluminum or Plastic ?
Early 2000s

They are the apple now. Forget getting good hardware for your money, it's all about muh design.

Linux is not a company. It is the name of a Kernel.
The kernel of an operating system does not create hardware.

You are comparing a company with multiple businesses to a kernel and are then complaining that the kernel does not produce hardware. I think you are retarded.

Also that thing appears to be an overpriced piece of shit, granted the surface tablets are rather appealing.
