The Thinkbook 14+ 2025 seems to check quite a lot of the boxes. Nevertheless, depending where you live you will have some high taxes to pay if ordered from Aliexpress: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G_xM0qxA-8

The option with the TGX(Oculink) port to use an eGPU is particularly appealing for some.

There is a guide to install Arch on it: https://github.com/Cyber-Typhoon/Secure_Arch_Install_Oculink_eGPU

It would be nice if they would overcome the 720p/1080p limitation imposed by some stream services https://androidpcreview.com/netflix-hd-android-tv-box/

I have a similar need for a “niche” install. I need Arch for it. I’m doing a laptop installation with LUKS2, TPM2, Secure Boot, systemd-boot with UKI, BTFRS, Apparmor and it has a Oculink eGPU dock station.

What is making NixOS so passionated about it? Is there something very special in NixOS that we are missing in Arch?
