    That’s a huge deal breaker. If that’s not resolved by launch they should be ashamed to put their name behind it.

      Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good.

      If the product doesn’t fit your needs, don’t buy it. But we’re not going to get a completely open source laptop that competes with mass market options at the same price over night.

        That’s not really a relevant argument here. One of the massive benefits of RISC-V is the lack of proprietary instruction sets.

          But we’re talking about the supply chain for a GPU that is compatible with this new RISC-V main board that is also good enough to compete with another laptop at the same price point (looks like it’s an IMG BXE-2-32).

          That’s what I’m saying, we’re on the right path, but we’re not going to get there over night. If you want a working viable daily driver today, there are some compromises that have to be made still.
