    Well damn, thanks for highlighting this. Didn’t even know they’re still making stuff, and Fujitsu has the cheaper FMV MH for under US$1k running Ryzen CPUs too!

        I have a Lenovo Idea Pad 3. It runs linux mint on it perfectly fine and I can run mid tier games on it. It’s great for a portable play experience or work laptop.

          I bought an ideapad pro 5i 14” a few days ago. I was delighted to see it ran Ubuntu perfectly with no driver issues.

          Ironically, the keyboard and trackpad didn’t work in windows until I installed the drivers (made for a more difficult install)

          What’s the long term usage like with Mint? Does it have decent battery life?

            If I’m playing rimworld (with a ton of mods) I get like 2.5 hours. It’s not great but I am usually by a charger so it hasn’t really been an issue yet.

        I had a Flex 14 which had a broken keyboard. Sent it for repairs and it came back with the same issue happening a minute after I turned it on. Had a bunch of friends who got a Lenovo gaming laptop that were offered at a deal with our school (was a Y-something I can’t recall). All of them ended up with strange green bands on their screens within 2 years. The whole superfish fiasco basically cemented that they’re not a company I would buy anything from ever again.

        I’m currently using a Asus Zephyrus G14 and it’s been practically a flawless experience.

          I’ve had terrible experiences with all brands bar ThinkPad.

          ThinkPad specifically too, IdeaPad, and Legion are consumer garbage.

      Removed as a protest against the community’s support for campaigns to bring about the deaths of members of marginalized groups, and opposition to private entities working to prevent such campaigns, together with it’s mindless flaming and downvoting of anyone who disagrees.

      I have a yoga slim pro something or other (amd) that’s been running fine for a bit over a year. It runs Linux, but it’s probably ok under windows as well.
