[22:20] <ibeardslee> Nice work .. https://nzoss.org.nz/content/lenovo-laptops-available-for-linux-users
[22:25] <olly> yeah, shame it's a few dollars more than the standard version though: http://www.ascent.co.nz/productspecification.aspx?itemID=439937
[22:26] <mwhudson> oh nice
[22:33] <ibeardslee> .. and the PDF was created using MS Word ;)
[22:33] <mwhudson> olly: three year warranty from silicon though
[22:33] <mwhudson> oh, same from ascent /nm
[22:35] <ibeardslee> I think the Silicon one has a 3 year lenovo, whereas the Ascent one has a 1 year from lenovo, expanded to 3 by Ascent .. .. but don't quote me
[22:35] <olly> i wonder which is better...
[22:35] <ibeardslee> but yeah still not ideal
[22:37] <olly> it's sadly going to stay niche while that's the situation
[22:37] <olly> i wonder what the licensing fees are
[22:38] <olly> probably subject to some labyrinthine agreement to try to avoid anti-monopoly laws
[22:42] <olly> FWIW, ascent also includes delivery, the silicon offer doesn't
