Interesting observation!

Honestly, I’d buy a phone with RK3588S, but $1,300 is overkill. I’d rather much prefer to downscale other specs to make it around 400-500$.

Here is the comparison with Tensor G4.

RK3588S is a bit slower then Snapdragon 865, which is 5 year old.

I think RK3588S is nowhere near Pixel 9 CPU.

Awesome progress! What Linux phones do you use?

I have a PinePhone Pro, but it’s quite low-end…

Great news, I also found Plamo a bit sluggish in the past! Will give it a go!

Welcome aboard!

Never got a virus or at least I don’t know about it 😅 But always install packages from official repositories or AUR (but I usually inspect PKGBUILDS for unpopular stuff).

I use Neovim, love their Lua direction.

Mostly sculpting, less rendering. So yeah, we aren’t GPU bound. Right now considering just a mini PC. Should be cheaper then a latpop since we don’t planning to work on the go, just need something portable. And a tablet for drawing.

That’s exactly what I planning to use on travel 😅

I don’t planning to work on the go, just wanted a portable PC.

We are considering just a portable PC for her and a tablet for drawing right now…

Thanks for the suggestion, eGPU sounds nice!

We don’t planning to actually work on the go, just planning to travel a lot. eGPU could be considered portable. Maybe we even don’t need a laptop, just a mini PC 🤔

Didn’t know about them, cool!

First time hear about it, but sounds very cool!

I’d actually recommend you to consider the whereabouts of the respective support centers before you buy a device

Totally agree, I take this into consideration. Tuxedo is very attractive to me because we planning to visit Germany personally. But I will take a look at NovaCustom as well since it’s in EU.

From Star Labs their StarLite tablet looks very attractive. Right now I considering buying a tablet for drawing and a laptop for 3D modeling instead of 2-in-1.

Agree! That’s why we are looking for something for a manufacturer support. We don’t consider used market only because thinking about something powerful.

I have a SteamDeck and very satisfied with how GNU/Linux runs on it. Windows even run worse on it 😅

Thanks, will take a look!

We looked for convertible because planning to travel a lot. But judging by what others say, it’s probably better to have a dedicated device for drawing…

Does linux support from manufacturer really matter?

Not really, but from my experience Linux on laptops sometimes have issues with things like battery life.

I have a SteamDeck to compare and it works just perfect, this is why I were looking at manufacturer support.

Thanks! Yes, she interested only in modeling. Cycles needed more for cool showcases 😅 Will take a look at System76.

Yeah, I have an Nvidia GPU on my desktop and I regret that I didn’t buy an AMD card.

We looking for a laptop with good manufacturer support because they quite often have either battery or sleep issues.

Thanks!

We just planning to travel a lot soon and wanted to avoid carry a lot of stuff with us. But you probably right, it’s better to have a dedicated device…
