  • What are you really looking for? You mention GeekBench, multi-core performance, battery life, speakers, memory, and screen size. But you mention Rust compilation. So I’m confused, do you want a powerful machine or one that has a long battery life or a machine that looks and sounds good?

    I see EUR and fr-fr, so you must not be in the US but in France or Belgium.

    Also your comparison is not really equal. You’re comparing a M5 Macbook Pro with an M5 Pro 18-core CPU, 20-core GPU with 24 GB system memory (3200€), and 1TB SSD to a HP Elite G1a with 64GB and 1TB SSD (4900€). If you give the macbook pro 64GB of memory, then you’re at 4300€. If you take the default M5 Max config (18 core CPU, 32 Core GPU) and the default 36GB RAM, you’re also at 4800€.

    What is your budget?

    Looking at nano review and sorting by multi-core performance, this is the list:

    CPU Multicore Cinebench
    Core Ultra 9 285HX 2240
    Core Ultra 9 290HX Plus 2195
    Ryzen 9 9955HX3D 2160
    Ryzen 9 9955HX 2091
    M5 Max (40-сore GPU) 2073
    M5 Max (32-сore GPU) 2066
    M4 Max (16-Core) 2044
    Core i9 13980HX 2014
    Snapdragon X2 Elite Extreme (X2E-96-100) 1967
    M5 Pro (18-Core) 1949

    (why not geekbench for multi-core?).

    As you can see, AMD and Ryzen do well (and that snapdragon), all the way to Intel Core i9 13980HX.

    Here’s a Tuxedo laptop with a Ryzen 9 9955HX and 36GB RAM for ~2800€. Make it 64GB and you’re at ~3500€.

    Or here, a StarFighter Ultra with Intel Core Ultra 9 285H, 64GB RAM, 1TB storage.

    Otherwise there’s linux preloaded where you can find stores that sell laptops.



  • This dude maybe should learn to keep his mouth shut and play the game. Delete the blog, wipe the presence, reset the online identity. Until he finds a job, he could contribute to opensource to have something to show, or retrain in some other thing like a trade job.

    Being loud on the internet and showing that you can and will be a problem for the company, even if you’re fighting the good fight, will get you in trouble. Unless of course he finds a job with like-minded people.

    My online identity isn’t tied to my real identity. At least, I try hard not to because otherwise I’ll have to add a disclaimer to every post “these are my views and not that of my employer”. The more you give to recruiters, the more reasons they have not to pick you. Your online presence (if any) must be the cleanest, most professional that you can manage - especially if you’re a minority.

    People posting with their real names should just learn to STFU sometimes. Free speech doesn’t mean “no consequences”.


  • Modern phones are extremely convenient. Being able to plan your trip, go on it, take pictures, listen to music, stay informed, book hotels, and everything else with a single, small device is much better than having a separate device for everything. Smartphone are MP3 player, laptop, camera, and GPS device all in one.

    I do wish the OS weren’t controlled by one single entity and were fully opensource, always.
