exactly what i was thinking. we linux users need a good laptop that looks good, perform well, and something that isn't apple!


And for the record, Linux and the Retina MBPs don't get along.

(FYI: the Phoronix post has an overlay ad)


I really like how those guys think it's somehow Apple's fault. Fonts are too small because Linux doesn't have resolution independence? Apple sucks for building a laptop with too many pixels.


Wow, the original Phoronix article was much more reasonable. http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=apple...


This isn't entirely true. A Fedora developer was able to have much more sauccess then the Phoronix tester. I can't find the post on the internet, but it was linked on HN a while back.


I might be in the minority here but looks good is probably the last thing I'm looking for in a machine.
