I just ran a few comparisons between the MacBook Neo and my HP Elitebook. I‘d put both laptops in roughly the same overall category. They‘re both pretty cheap without dedicated graphics. Accepable performance for everyday applications.

The HP does have more RAM and storage space, but its „Intel Ultra 5 135U“ processor is actually quite a bit slower than the MacBook‘s A18Pro chip, even for gaming. The HP will often turn on its system fan, which can be a bit annoying.

Next to the MacBook, the Elitebook also feels way cheaper and is also thicker and heavier. Lots of plastic parts!

Debian GNU/Linux on a HP EliteBook 8 G1a 14

I have set up Debian GNU/Linux unstable (which will become Debian 14 Forky at some point in 2028) on a HP EliteBook 8 G1a 14 inch Notebook Next Gen AI PC. Many of these things will probably be valid for other AMD variants of this generation of the Elitebook and even the ZBook series.

Hardware specifications

These are the hardware specification of this particular system:

I've been using a laptop this week with 16gb of ram and have been surprisingly fine. My other, main laptop has 64gb. Granted most of my workloads have moved to my desktop with 128gb.

I didn't think there'd be that much of a difference between 8th and 11th gen Intel's, but it's definitely zippier. Not sure I'd ever be comfortable parting with my #thinkpad #T480. I sold my last one during the pandemic and missed it dearly.

I also probably wouldn't have as much hesitation making this my main laptop if it was a ThinkPad, but it's an HP #EliteBook.

I currently have a work laptop on that's running Windows 10 and I think I need ear-defenders. It sounds like it's just about to be wheels up on runway 6.
