I would really dig an AMD-based version; even with the current options it might be a really good way to go for my application at work.

Wonderful looking hardware, but I wouldn't even consider buying it with NVIDIA graphics.
So many people have worked so hard to give us fully Free Software / Open Source systems. Now that we have that, I don't want to take even a single step back. Hardware which requires proprietary drivers are not an option for me.
I want my/our next steps to be forward. Open firmware and open hardware (full schematics available and usable by competitors).
Compulab: if you're going to offer GNU/Linux support, please use an AMD graphics card or, in the future, an Intel graphics card. NVIDIA do not play well with the GNU/Linux culture and way of doing things.

Oh for an edit button or at least a less buggy mobile UI on this site

Nice to know becauI will be looking for a passively cooled Zen2 or ice-lake whenever those hit the market.

Price isn't actually that bad. $2,112 for one with i9 and 1TB ssd and nvme. Probably priced like a similarly loaded laptop would cost.

they must be sponsored by Intel or Nvidia I guess.. I hate that they're not AMD based

Originally posted by torsionbar28 View PostAgreed, but there are situations (mainly dusty / dirty environments) where you do not want airflow into the chassis. Also places like recording studios where even a noctua fan is too noisy. So there definitely is a market for these products, even if it's not you and me. That said, they do make some *really* nice hardware, world class stuff from this company for sure.

What a strange CPU choice. Didn't Intel offer a low power, 8C16T i9? Using a overclockable model on a fanless chassis does not compute to me.
