If you’re in the market for a Linux laptop you may be interested to know that the new Kubuntu Focus M2 laptop has recently launched powered by an Intel Core i7-12700H Alder Lake-H processor. The latest version builds on the previous laptop model launched back in 2019 and now features NVIDIA RTX 30 series graphics and is available to purchase from $1,895. The Linux laptop is now available to preorder and shipping is expected to take place next week from May 9, 2022 onwards.
The base model includes a 15.6 inch, 2560 x 1440 pixel 165 Hz IPS LCD display, and a processor supported by 16GB of DDR4-3200 memory together with PCIe 4 NVMe storage in the form of a 500 GB capacity drive and a NVIDIA RTX 3060 graphics card. If your budget can stretch you can upgrade these components to a RTX 3080 Ti GPU, 64 GB of RAM and add up to 4 TB of storage thanks to the dual M.2 2280 slots.
