    Don’t let perfect be the enemy of the good.

    If the product doesn’t fit your needs, don’t buy it. But we’re not going to get a completely open source laptop that competes with mass market options at the same price over night.

      That’s not really a relevant argument here. One of the massive benefits of RISC-V is the lack of proprietary instruction sets.

        But we’re talking about the supply chain for a GPU that is compatible with this new RISC-V main board that is also good enough to compete with another laptop at the same price point (looks like it’s an IMG BXE-2-32).

        That’s what I’m saying, we’re on the right path, but we’re not going to get there over night. If you want a working viable daily driver today, there are some compromises that have to be made still.
