I just bought an AMD 13", and had the same "wtf, that's silly" thought about the site.
Also, Ubuntu 24.04? Lts works great. Suspend eats some battery, but can't be more than 1% an hour. If I suspend it overnight, it's not the end of the world.
I have it hooked to some Amazon USB4 dock, with wireless dongles for keyboard and mice, and 2 1080p displays. One horizonal, one vertical. Those work as expected, and all scaling between them works and makes sense. It did take a few moments to get it all to align up but once it did it's worked great.
New bios update mangled my battery charge limit behavior in weird ways. Prior to mid month update, it worked great! Sometimes now it works, sometimes it's at 100%. Since the battery can be replaced in no time, I've honestly not fret it much.
The speakers are not great but I found some customized eq settings for an app. (Easy .. something) That made them sound 80% better, immediately).
Battery life, I dunno. I'm one of those people who kills all their batteries by panicking at 56%. If light duty, 6 hours no problem, maybe 8?
I love it. A bit of coin but I'm hoping they stay around so when things break , they can be replaced.
Tired of forced updates and controlled subscribe behaviors. A laptop one can replace broken pieces themselves and an OS that thus far lets you use the damn computer.
