| thafreak_ | Guess who has two thumbs and a shiny new Galgo Pro? | 15:23 |

| dzho | thafreak: wow, system76 needs some SEO optimization | 16:07 |
| dzho | I did a search for Galgo and apparently that's an Iberian name for a dog? | 16:07 |
| dzho | and so "galgo pro" wasn't good enough. | 16:07 |
| dzho | but I guessed from "shiny new" and "thumbs" that this wasn't a dog, and so added "laptop" and bingo | 16:08 |
| * dzho is now wondering wtf Pop!_OS 17.10 is | 16:20 | |
| dzho | holy smokes: dat resolution | 16:20 |
| thafreak | yeah | 16:20 |
| thafreak | The resoulution is probably the only downside to be honest | 16:20 |
| dzho | downside? | 16:21 |
| dzho | oh snap: "Disabled ME" | 16:21 |
| thafreak | Yeah, think about a 13" screen with that resolution | 16:21 |
| thafreak | the only way you can read anything is if they do that HiDPI scaling stuff | 16:21 |
| thafreak | which is fine most of the time, unless you launch a random X application that isn't hip to the HiDPI scaling | 16:22 |
| thafreak | and you're like WTF does that say | 16:22 |
| thafreak | Similarly, plugging it into an external monitor is...meh | 16:22 |
| thafreak | because you have to go in and change the built in display's settings to turn off HiDPI etc | 16:23 |
| dzho | oh, right. | 16:23 |
| dzho | too much of a good thing | 16:23 |
| dzho | tbh I'd trade that for RAM and storage options | 16:23 |
| thafreak | because if you don't, your're 1080 monitor can barely fit a singel terminal window in it when it's scaled 200% :) | 16:23 |
| dzho | I see they have NVMe | 16:24 |
| thafreak | I think it'll be fine eventually | 16:24 |
| dzho | what RAM and storage did you end up with | 16:24 |
| thafreak | Or I just need to get a 4k exernal monitor ;) | 16:24 |
| dzho | haha | 16:24 |
| dzho | so say we all my fren | 16:24 |
| thafreak | I'm considering it, just not sure it will be what I expect if HiDPI is turned on...might not get any additional real-estate, just a super crisp display | 16:25 |
| thafreak | But yeah, the ram and storage are why I bought it | 16:25 |
| thafreak | There's also the lemur which is slightly cheaper and "only" has a 1080 IPS display | 16:26 |
| thafreak | And you can spec it out the same | 16:26 |
| thafreak | But I think it starts with a dual core i3 where the galago starts with a quad core i5 | 16:26 |
| thafreak | So every time I spec'd out the lemur the same way as the galago, they ended up costing the same | 16:27 |
| thafreak | because I had to upgrade the lemur's cpu to an i7 to get a quad core cpu | 16:27 |
| thafreak | So I went with the thinner laptop with higher res display. | 16:27 |
| thafreak | But I'm very happy with it so far. I opted for the nvme+spinning rust | 16:28 |
| thafreak | So I no longer need that external disk to store iso's and the family photo album, etc. | 16:29 |
| thafreak | and Pop_OS! is very pretty, especially on this display. They did good. | 16:30 |
| thafreak | If you're a gnome fan at least | 16:30 |
| thafreak | systemd can go to hell | 22:28 |
