Autocorrect hates me, I am sorry.
I guess that feels more like something for small/medium businesses than home server.
I actually missed the integrated GPU part as well, as it’s not on their tech-spec list. I wonder what the specs on that are, I’d want something at least that I could use to compute embeddings for file/document retrieval. This iGPU looks like it’s 4 years old, which would be fine for video decode.
Yeah.
The hardware is fantastic.
The software is like one of those brides where they bind the feet so they can never become independent. And then services revenue is a goitre on this creatures neck constantly throwing it off balance as it tries to shamble forward.
I very much want ~2010 apple, where the hardware was maybe a bit meh, but the software was top tier.
That home server thing is very expensive. I know it’s ECC, but that’s a lot for 16gb ram and no GPU.
I am looking for a NAS I can drop some existing WD Red drives into but that’s a lot. They came in a WD MyCloud but that’s thing is a privacy risk and is dog slow despite being hooked directly into a gigabit port.
This looks great!
I’ve been using Linux on desktop for about 8 months now and I’m enjoying it a lot. I could see myself buying a Linux laptop with this battery life.
It’s super cool that you can just buy the parts and upgrade your old laptop with this!
