Its 16.1 inches with a 2K resolution of 2560x1440, so it's 16:9, better for gaming IMO than 16:10, but less good for other tasks. It has a full aluminium chassis, an 80Wh battery, it can accomodate up to 96 gigs of RAM, 8 terabytes of PCIe 4 SSD, and it comes with USB 4, the latest HDMI 2.1 and Wifi 6E. But what matters is what's inside, and that's a ryzen 7 7840HS, and a radeon 7600M XT, with 8 gigs of DDR6 VRAM. The aluminium chassis really feels solid, and the whole laptop is pretty hefty, at 2.2 kilos, or 4.8 pounds. The CPU is a ryzen 7 7840HS, it's 8 cores, 16 threads, running at a top speed of 5.1Ghz. In geekbench 6, it got 2640 in single core, and 12635 in multi core, so it's more powerful than the i7 13700H I use daily on my own laptop. browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/5180453 In terms of gaming, I ran the benchmark for horizon zero dawn. At the native resolution and max settings, the game got 77 FPS, perfectly playable with a very nice looking experience. Lowering that 1080p and using FSR on the quality setting, still at the max settings, I got 116 FPS. And at high details, 1080p with FSR on the quality settings, you reach 118 FPS, so youβll be able to make use of that displays high refresh rate! And all of this runs in hybrid graphics mode by default, at least on the preinstalled Tuxedo OS my review unit came with. The laptop, running at half brightness with wifi on, playing videos in a loop, lasted for 6 hours. On the left side, you have a USB 1 3.2 Gen 2 port, a headphone jack, and a separate mic jack. On the right, you have a fingerprint reader, which unfortunately, doesn't support Linux. You also get a USB C port, 4.0 Gen 3x2, it supports power delivery and displayport 1.4, and it's hardwired to the integrated GPU, and on the right, you also have another USB A 3.2 Gen2. On the back, you get a barrel charger, a gigabit ethernet port, an HDMI 2.1 port that supports freesync and is hardwired to the dedicated GPU, and a USB C 3.2 Gen 2x1 port, that supports display port, freesync, and is hardwired to the dedicated GPU as well. The display can run up to 165hz, but can go down to 120, 96, 72 or 69hz. Viewing angles are perfect, and it covers 100% of sRGB, with a contrast ratio of 1000:1. it's 300 nits of brightness which isn't bad but it isn't the birghtest ever, and it supports AMD Freesync. It's 2K, so 2560 by 1440p. The keyboard is a rubber membrane affair, that feels really good to type on. it's quiet, key travel is ok the keys don't get stuck they're stable, so you can press from a corner and activate them, and you get a numpad which is a personel preference. You also get a tux branded key, full size arrow keys that are slightly off compared to the rest of the keyboard, which I hated at first, but kinda like now, because it makes them really easy to find. They keyboard is RGB backlit, you can control that in the tuxedo control center, to change the color and the brightness to anything you like, or you can press function + space bar to turn it on or off. The touchpad is really smooth and sturdy, it's big enough, it's really off center though, which some people like, but I don't, I like things centered. It produces a very reassuring solid click, it doesn't rattle at all, it's really nice, and works with gestures as well. The Sirius 16 comes with 4 speakers, which sound really nice. The mic is nothing to write home about, it's ok for small chats. As per the webcam, it goes up to 1080p 30, which isn't bad, and it doesn't yield horrible results at all.

Hello,
I am looking for a budget reliable printer.
I know that some companies scam the crap out of you as soon as you buy their printers and I would like to not fall victim to that.
My budget is around 100 dollars, I donβt care if laser or ink printer.
Of course I need a certain compatibility to Linux.
Thanks a lot already for your answers and have a nice day!
Edit: Thanks for the kind tips, I will definitely get myself a brother printer.
Hi linuxhardware gang
i've been having some issue on my headphone jack, and the sound quality has never been great. this is on a small mini pc running arch linux.
So what i'm looking for is a device i can plug into my usb (preferably usb-C) and Linux will use it to play audio. i plan to plug that device into my amp, which i can use headphone jack or those white and red plugs for.
I hope USB DAC is the proper term, i'm kind of struggling to find products that do this.
anyway, does anyone have experience with products like this on linux? i don't want to have to hack together the software side. even just a brand recommendation will help.
Hi everybody, I recently got a Roccat Burst Pro Air which has a battery in it since its wireless.
The problem here is that I cannot see the battery level on upower by any means because I think it never was developped for linux as roccat does not support linux for its devices (don't know if its in the kernel or in upower itself?).
I'm not a driver developer but a web developer. Maybe I can try to support this device in order to expose the battery level. But I don't actually know where to start.
Can anyone guide me?
Thank you in advance!

Okay, most of the relevant information is in the title - I got a nice deal on an old Lenovo X280, threw Debian on there with KDE. I have an HP Elite book for my work, and thus a work provided HP G2 DisplayLink dock with USBC connection.
In order for this dock to work, I had to install the displaylink drivers for "Ubuntu" from here. The drivers work as expected, and I am able to dock the X280 to my workstation, and use both external monitors. It feels pretty nice when I am just browsing/emailing/bullshitting. But when I tried to play Minecraft on it, the game feels incredibly laggy.
At first I thought this was due to an under-powered graphics card, but I did some testing with the external monitors using an HDMI cord directly to the X280, and everything feels clean and smooth when I use it in that way. The other odd glitch is that when I have the laptop docked, and I am trying to play MC, if I put MC on the external monitor = lag. But if I just drag the MC window to the laptop's screen = no lag.
I'm assuming this issue is related to the dock and/or drivers. I've looked around for some sort of workaround, but came up empty handed. So now I think the solution might be a different dock.
The dock would need to:
So... Does anyone have any experience with Linux (Debian preferred) compatible docks that don't introduce input delay when gaming?
ps. Sweet community you got here. I subbed, and it's DEFINITELY going to result in me buying more stuff...
