OMG this is happening !!! Loongson 3A5000 laptops finally available

(1/17) > >>

DiTBho:
Many years ago a Lemote Yeeloong laptop was sent to Richard Stallman, and he liked it. Unfortunately it was difficult to buy one of these fully-opensource (from the bios up) laptops, and the hardware was not so powerful.

Today, things are different. There are new MIPS laptops around, and the new Loongson 3A5000 laptop is available.

This time, a piece of very rock-hardware

Curious? would you experience an "unboxing"?

watch

I want one, I want one, I want one, please take my money and send me one!  ;D

PKTKS:
I will have no problems changing the x86 wintel  stodgy  platform....

As a matter of fact ... unless some real leadership with balls enough to change the dull game...

x86 platform is nowadays nothing than a repetition of old really stodgy past maidens game...


Good tho have a viable alternative ahead ::)

I doubt they'll enough of these to even break even. Sure it's a cool idea, but probably less than 0.1% of computer users care one bit if the hardware of their laptop is open source. I have absolutely no desire to modify my laptop.

SiliconWizard:
More variety is good. For sustainability, independence and innovation.

While the chinese are certainly working towards that goal, I'm not sure we should particularly rejoice about their own work. We should just do the same.

do you specifically need some x86-binary software?
Windows application or something like that?

It's my case, but I can have three laptops
1) for Windows 10 and windows-specific applications
2) for MacOS M1/2 and M1/2-specific applications (e.g. Finalcut)
3) for Linux ... here a MIPS laptop is great!
