HP Preparing An AMD-Powered Linux Laptop Powered By Pop!_OS

I stopped reading at FHD. Sorry, in the 2022 there are many better options than 1080p. A lot lower priced than this too.

We use HP at work so maybe I can get one but I will not hold my breath as more likely then not I will just get the regular one and have to install Linux my self.
My only gripe is that I perceive the quality of the business HPs as sup par. Especially the thermals, the firmware and the docking station is the worst!

Why does it have only a Ryzen 5000 and not 6000?

Last time I checked scaling on Linux was not as smooth as in macOS. But if someone prefers fiddling with higher resolutions on small screens, that's OK. Have your fun.

The price is a little high for a non expandable, non dedicated graphics laptop.

You can get an entry level gaming laptop for around $700-800 and expand it's memory, and probably will come with a more durable keyboard too.

who develops in 14inches man. I never get how people do it. Is it just me :/

My keyboard doesn't even have a number row. I prefer more layers to more keys for programming.

I bet a $ it will NOT have support for LVFS.

Where's that $?

It's just you and some like you. Not everyone is silly and trying to build large software projects on resource-cost inefficient laptops. :P Also, your Mac team members are masochists. Seriously. (Not because of MacOS, which is a decent OS, but because they're doing it with insufficient hardware resources - hence dedicated build hardware).

Desktops and servers are far more cost efficient. With ubiquitous Internet access in places most people can afford a laptop, it's far more efficient to just remotely connect to a desktop or build/test server from a basic laptop if mobile access is needed.

There are many ways you can solve this. There is, as you said, building a desktop and remotely connecting to it; you can rent a VM in the cloud; you can also just refactor stuff in your project to make you need less memory and make sure you close whatever you no longer need before opening any new container/VM; and there are probably other ways too. But, you can also just pay a bit extra and load your laptop with the memory you need and then you don't need to worry about any of that and things just work.
