HP Dev One - A Great, Well Engineered AMD Ryzen Linux Laptop

[Slartifartblast]

Actual Dev laptops like the Thinkpad P15 can have up to 128GB of RAM and are intentionally heavy bricks of machines that are desktop replacements, usually combined with some sort of docking station. Though something in the vein of a normal T series is fine too. It's just utterly laughable when Dell and HP are trying to claim ultrabooks as dev class hardware.

Depends what you are developing, fart apps don't need that much RAM far as I'm aware but you never know, to paraphrase Parkinson's law, farts expand to fill a room.

Is it possible to install other distros without losing anything?

Cool, it has a trackpoint. :+ )

16GiB is enough for some but yeah, it is going to be a serious limitation for many. I can't use this for my work but I'm sure many will enjoy.

For this hardware it should be all, or nearly all, upstream at this point. Long as you're using something fresh like Arch I don't think you'd have any issues.

Those up/down arrow keys are catastrophically small and flimsey. Lenovo's arrow keys (where all 4 have the same size, but are a tad larger than what HP has, broke off after like 4 years).

16:9 should have never existed in the first place...
I would be happy with a high quality 1920x1200 AMOLED display.
At higher resolutions you end up scaling everyhing up in any case.

Yep 16:9 1080p was for the early days when everybody though matching their TV screen resolution was magical.

Actually I don't do much upscaling. Instead I end up with more usable screen real estate. Being a programmer, it's an advantage being able to fit more on your screen.

what's this obsession HP has for the split up/down arrow keys? is there a petition somewhere for stopping this horrible nonsense on all of their bloody laptops? Thanks

Does it have CPPC enabled in Bios ? cause pavilion 15 don't have and whole boost state range shows as one state.
HP bios malfunctions when try to use Secure boot keys.
Are the using liquid metal paste cause Ryzen temps goes 102C broke my display due to heat , after liquid metal has reduced to 77C.

It has two RAM slots, so you can put 32 or 64GB in if you want. They didn't solder anything on to the mobo.

I urgently need a notebook and this one mostly fits what I need... but apparently it only ships to the US, so it's pretty useless.

You can buy it and send it to me. I might have to play with it for a few months, but I'll forward it to you eventually.
