Sure, the overall "eventually stuff gets supported" story is good. And people hold on to hardware a lot more than they used to. This guy's using a T420. That's an 11 year old machine! Older hardware has always worked much better under Linux than newer hardware (sometimes for longer than it's worked well on Windows).

It's also pretty amazing that there are now some major-vendor Linux-out-of-the-box laptops. But the pool is still not all that large.

I was just looking at an Asus Zenbook S 13 OLED and Google suggests ... nah. Very un-boring.

Fun shit like "keyboard doesn't work yet" plus various other nothing-surprising-to-me-after-doing-this-for-20-years stuff like weird audio driver patch crap.
