> the display is nice even tho its only 1080p

What's worse, they have zero information about the quality of this screen. It's almost certainly not HDR. Does it even cover the sRGB gamut? Plus there's no option for a glossy coating, no information about viewable angles, no option for 4K, etc etc.

One of the primary ways I judge the quality of a laptop offering is by the quality of the screen the manufacturer is willing to put in it. If they're not skimping on the screen, it's a good sign for the quality of the rest of the product. And every single Linux-first manufacturer has fallen down here. The general expectation from them seems to be that you'll pay mid-level Mac prices for mid level Dell-quality products, in exchange for first class Linux support.

It's really too bad, because I'd pay the premium for a high quality build with great components that would last me a decade. Not so much for this, though.

If I am not mistaken, Linux is known to problems with higher rez screens. Honestly this is the best looking laptop screen I've ever used. My previous machine was a retina screen too. Its bright and crisp and easy on my eyes. I have some complaints about this machine but the display quality is not one of them.
