The Dev One laptop wasn’t half bad as a collab between HP and System76. Full AMD hardware stack, easy RAM and storage upgrades, Pop!_OS from the factory.

Came with WiFi 5 (easy enough to upgrade to 6) and no TPM/Secure Boot capabilities, has the typical HP flimsy display hinges, and the 1920x1080 glossy display has the worst viewing angles in history, but I guess that makes it quarter-bad rather than half.
