Thank you for your kind words and objective perspective.

Indeed it is. Though I just started to leverage its capabilities.

Nonetheless, I would again buy into aarch64.

I will be more sensible the next time and I took my lesson. Thank you for elaborating clearly!

I don't see myself like this but thanks for your analysis.

I paid 1200 EUR.

You may chime in here: I purchased it with three years of support as well (they [Lenovo] exchanged my brickes speakers, btw).

Thank you for your persistance. Edited it, Sir or Madame.

You are untinted. Tha nk 's for th is, bot.

Of whom?

I edited both:

The listing price was $2700 on purchase. I bought it for around $1800. The $650 dollar are from the Lenovo outlet store. I could sell this laptop for less then $500 on ebay.

More insights I gained using this laptop (intended for the curious Linux enthusiast):

• Kernel support for Audio and Screens is heavily dependend on user space: X.org and Wayland experience differs immensely. Even some udev-rules only work with certain compositors (and X11 feels like it is out of scope).
• Debian lacks people contributing to the linux and linux-firmware package. The onboarding is quite steep due to a lack of alignment between code and documentation.
• Developers if userspace programs react very fast to new requirements but they rely on upstreamed (to Debian's kernel-team) kernel-config's.
• Prompting bugs to the kernel appears to be done through kernel contributors only: Users will prompt hindrances on IRC (via OTFC, #aarch64-laptops) prompting the contributor and they will verify and support before addressing issues.
• There are archived advancements to the support which can't be merged due to citation reasons and alignment with upstream can't be done by the individual (there is a pareto-capable kernel for virtualization but within one week hunderts of commits need to get reviewed). This is impressive imo.
