The listing price was $2700 on purchase. I bought it for around $1800. The $650 dollar are from the Lenovo outlet store. I could sell this laptop for less then $500 on ebay.

More insights I gained using this laptop (intended for the curious Linux enthusiast):

  • Kernel support for Audio and Screens is heavily dependend on user space: X.org and Wayland experience differs immensely. Even some udev-rules only work with certain compositors (and X11 feels like it is out of scope).
  • Debian lacks people contributing to the linux and linux-firmware package. The onboarding is quite steep due to a lack of alignment between code and documentation.
  • Developers if userspace programs react very fast to new requirements but they rely on upstreamed (to Debian's kernel-team) kernel-config's.
  • Prompting bugs to the kernel appears to be done through kernel contributors only: Users will prompt hindrances on IRC (via OTFC, #aarch64-laptops) prompting the contributor and they will verify and support before addressing issues.
  • There are archived advancements to the support which can't be merged due to citation reasons and alignment with upstream can't be done by the individual (there is a pareto-capable kernel for virtualization but within one week hunderts of commits need to get reviewed). This is impressive imo.

I see; Thank you for teaching me. From now on I will try to be more objective and inclusive!

In real life I am known to be upfront (and too fast many times as well). No excuse - just some perspective from myself I have to think about.

I know that's why I made this post: My hopes were high up and I payed the price. So I shared my experience.

Appreciate your follow up, Sir or Madame.

They claimed 28 Hours of no connectivity video playback with a moderate amount of brightness (if I recall correctly about 50%). It may get there half (Windows or Linux) but you will be at 0% left.

Yeah; Told you I am disappointed in some way.
