“For the amount of space it takes to include a second speaker or second camera it doesn’t really make sense when you can just plug in an external one”
You sound like an idiot.
I can buy a phone from HMD that’s more repairable, more modular, and has sustainable features.
Fairphone has been a busted flush since they ditched the headphone jack. It’s just the most obvious sign amongst many they started making landfill phones.
This is a good run through

It’s targeting performance benchmarks for the 8700G at 1080p and getting decent FPS
RAM speed really matters as it’s also your GPU memory. So low clock RAM will kill GFX performance.
If you’re really budget conscious TDP at 65W for the CPU and GFX is a major win over any other setup.
I know someone who went the 5700G route a few years ago and was pretty happy.
But my budget setup:
USB-C dock for my steam deck. One device for desktop, TV, and handheld.
As the amount of time I’ve got to spend on games has gone down, I’ve got too many great games to get through on the steam deck already and I lean towards indie titles.
During the summer running a heater as a GPU either makes the room unpleasant or has additional air con load.
Honestly each Playstation generation has ended up sub 250W power consumption at launch with sub 400W rated PSUs. They kick out enough heat.
A build with a 1000W PSU or 1200W PSU is a red flag for me.
I get the desire to get the best possible performance but at some point it’s really not worth it. It’s a space heater, and one too powerful to leave on even in the winter.
Edit: Disregard. I have the 13, not the 12.
~~Normal laptop formfactor. You can have a touch screen as an option but it doesn’t do the full 360 fold round into a tablet.
I own one and the hinge goes 180.
It’s an excellent laptop, I grabbed one when the first AMD board was available and it runs Fedora flawlessly and has windows on an SSD when I need it.~~
No headphones jack.
Trash generating hypocrites.
HMD are doing everything better than fair phone now with their latest models. More repairable, more flexible, long term support and updates.
Cheaper too.
Amazon had their walk in walk out stores.
AI was meant to track what you put in the basket and charge you without you going through checkout.
They launched as an AI store.
Humans were looking at cases and were just meant to be “error correction”.
They were doing 80% of the work of tracking the images and barcodes into actual products.
Amazon closed the store.
Lots of “AI” systems are currently in this state. A computer can do the easy 10 to 20% of the job. Humans are doing the rest.
Venture capital are just investing in anything that looks like it’s working on “AI”. Even when it’s currently taking more human labour than the work did previously.
Companies are launching now as “AI” gambling on getting that percentage up otherwise they end up late to market. Lots will fail to actually use AI and probably fold.
Except they were basically beyond design life.
And every new plant comes decades late and 4x the original budget.
They need to die. Not be selectively enforced for everyone except those with a multi billion dollar computational model.
Everyone will have the same copyright laws except Microsoft and Google at this rate. That’s worse than where we are now.
It’s the result of Netscape losing to anti-trust behaviour by Microsoft and open sourcing their code as a final parting gift.
Netscape was struck down Firefox rose.
Still an idiot.
