I got an Alder Lake laptop at work from NovaCustom last year with Dasharo Coreboot, I've really been liking it. The full sized HDMI port and the built in Ethernet port are so nice to have in this era of laptops with such minimal ports.

Are these also Clevo laptops?

this is a tough product to beat for AMD since nothing like coreboot exists in that camp. They should open up their platform enough that something similar can be built.

Shouldn't be a problem - just replace your laptop's Ryzen with an Epyc server chip. We all know how to solder, right?

Let me preface this by saying I am not kidding with what I am about to say.

I absolutely love everything about this.

The website is professionally coded, responsive, stylish and well laid out.

Their prices are very competitive, I decided to max out a laptop, with 96gb ram, 8tb NVMe. 2.5k 16" screen, and an 8gb RTX 4070, $3700.

Best of all they allow you to install the OS of your choice, any Linux distro, Windows or a dual boot.

Hey, System76 and Tinybox, if you guys happen to run across this thread, this is how you run a business and how you attract customers!!!

I normally look for HP systems on sale and then upgrade them but if i was in the market for a laptop preconfigured, these are the people i would reach out to.

Starts to throttle at 75 degrees instead of 90. Is this a good idea? I know it will run cooler but together with the fans running low, won't performance be affected? Or is this only on battery power?
