They’re on my list the next time I need one.

so it doesnt work
I bought one for myself, and a high spec one for my wife's business. Mine is just a personal machine but I've been using it as a portable home server in my various moves. Very happy with both. They didn't seem a crazy amount more than similar spec machines in Europe
Having linus on board is terrible advertising for something that is meant to be good.
Yikes, XDA's reporting has really gone downhill since being bought out.

I don't buy notebooks. Only used older Thinkpads, particularly for coreboot/libreboot support.
Not in the market for a laptop currently but I do intend to keep them in mind since I use Linux.
I haven't owned a laptop since smartphones and tablets took off. It's become a redundant form factor. Framework would be my go to choice if I ever did need one though.
