I’ve used and tested many Linux laptops over the years; sometimes they fall flat, and sometimes they rise above the competition. When a “lightweight and fast” laptop comes to my attention promising “a compelling balance of performance, features, value, and reliability,” I take notice — and hope it lives up to the claims.
Also: I compared this premium Linux laptop to my MacBook Pro – it won in surprising ways
So when Kubuntu Focus reached out about the Ar Gen 1
There is a lot of good to say about this laptop… a lot. I’ll start with the setup. If you’re used to purchasing MacOS or Windows laptops and desktops, buying one with Linux preinstalled is going to be a serious wake-up call.
After booting the Ar Gen 1 and entering the default disk encryption key (which is listed in the quick setup reference guide that comes in the box), all you have to do is set up your user account. That’s it. Once you’ve done that, you’ll find yourself at the login screen. Select your user, type the password, and you’re in. It took me about two minutes from start to first login. Try that with a new MacOS or Windows laptop.
As for the price, the base unit starts at $1,950
