Apparently not, but I got to play with this machine today.<br/><br/>Well, it&#39;s amazing. My Asus Zenbook 14 OLED looks like like poor cousin standing next to PX13. It is full metal unibody chassis (any company doing this nowadays except Apple ?), covered with something that reminds me old, IBM made Thinkpads. Probably not that good but looking and feeling just great.<br/><br/>As to the internals - it is a fucking monster ! It has Ryzen Max 395 with Radeon 8060s GPU. That means 16 physical, full blown Zen 5 cores and 32 threads. No little core bullshit. GPU has 2560 shading units, 160 texture mapping units, and 64 ROPs. You can assign up to 96GB of RAM just to GPU in BIOS. System supports up to 128GB of RAM. <br/><br/>Now the best part - without ANY #FreeBSD optimizations - started from USB NVME, with USB WiFi card connected and keyboard backlight on it goes as low as 9.5W on idle. I guess without these USB devices connected it can easily go to 5W on idle. Maybe even lower.<br/><br/>I got it from my friend tired and scared by Windoze. So I thought I&#39;ll switch her to #FreeBSD since she mainly uses browser and office suite. I thought Chromium/Firefox and LibreOffice would be just fine for her.<br/><br/>There are some #FreeBSD downsides of course - no sound ( thought about BT dongle), wifi card has to be replaced with AX210 (she complained about Mediatek disconnecting anyway) and most annoying - you just cannot disable keyboard backlight which just blinks all the time. 2026-10-16T19:26:43Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdpfpsqq26rv7ay8mz26cekuwkmggeuam8053fkrn2k297zv65mrczyq0rlwatu3u344j63zl6nj475l9795d95jg5zz86nzsdgj3angvlu6jkwhw Is there anybody out there who tried #OpenBSD or #freebsd on Asus ProArt PX13 ?<br/><br/>It is Strix Halo based machine. 2026-10-15T15:25:27Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsv67yehhelg6e7gz3xdy9pf80swxh50s758d2urspr94srs3vefqczyq0rlwatu3u344j63zl6nj475l9795d95jg5zz86nzsdgj3angvlu39x9vn In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrw5syl4efu8krwjh5y4jas9md5a0r7qcf6e4l6zfdxlrkmsvthssxjq8pn'>nevent1q…q8pn</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yes, so:<br/><br/>Starlabs Starfighter AMD is 3250 Euros at the cheapest (no OLED version).<br/><br/>Tuxedo Stellaris 16 AMD (with Nvidia which I don&#39;t need) 3471 Euro.<br/><br/>ouch...<br/><br/>And both of them are basically Clevo resellers. 2026-10-09T13:51:22Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsxwdp56r77d67vxg25yr3a6qefr3sjn3trfe4ytwqlkua0hmy3sggzyq0rlwatu3u344j63zl6nj475l9795d95jg5zz86nzsdgj3angvluqmzmgp To continue Framework 16 laptop thread - I found below blog post.<br/>Unfortunately not very positive.<br/><br/>I was super excited but now I&#39;m not anymore. I had some great expectations about Framework. Now I&#39;m a bit disgusted when looking at the pictures from this blog post.<br/>I was thinking that maybe Framework wil be better than all those Clevo resellers shouting &#34;we have Linux laptops&#34; but apparently it&#39;s not.<br/><br/>Seems like the only option is going back to Thinkpad.
