Such a cool idea!  Make the RAM expandable, since while it's more than sufficient now on 4.4, I would expect to keep the machine for several years.  $4-600 USD is what I think I would expect to pay.

I'd like to include as many ports as possible, but they have to play nice with the kernel.

I'm on my third system using LL starting at V2.2.  I find it a fantastic OS and I like it comes with the basic apps.  I can install anything I wish to my desire.  The current system is a Dell Precision 4500 laptop with I7, 16gb ram and a 1TB drive.  I did install VirtualBox and I love I can assign as many processors and as much hard drive space for the hosted OS.  Current VB setup has 22 different OS's loaded.  As I'm a help desk tech and often asked about what other Linux OS look like, I can show them in real time.  It works for me and I'm enjoying LL much.  Looking forward to 4.4.

Could we have USB-C and Thunderbolt-3 ports on any LL branded laptop that may be in the pipeline ?

2012 - Lenovo G580 2689 (2cores; 4threads] ~ [email protected] - LL3.8/Win8.1 dual-boot (LL working smoothly)
2011 - Samsung NP-N145 Plus (1core; 2threads) ~ Intel Atom [email protected] - LL 3.8 32-bit (64-bit too 'laggy')
2008 - Asus X71Q (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6/Win8.1 dual-boot, LL works fine with kernel 4.15
2007 - Dell Latitude D630 (2cores) ~ Intel [email protected] - LL4.6, works well with kernel 4.4; 4.15 doesn't work

I think the point of using LL is because it's light on resources and good for old hardware.
When people buy something new they want it to be as powerful as it can be for that price range and those machines come with Win.

An idea that would be good for the environment would be to sell refurbish laptop with LL installed a new battery, in a way everything working out of the box.

They could be sold as refurbish/branded LL laptops at cheap prices for people with low budgets.

It's still a work in progress. Part of the idea of this thread was to gauge interest in the idea. Will certainly update you all on any developments.

I know hence my ;) and my "Trololo!"
... and if I remember correctly, Jerry has a special place for Arch in his heart.

Whatever the core, lets hope LL can help get Linux higher than the 2-3% Desktop market shares. Go team Go!

@bitsnpcs mentionned a Linux Lite Arch x64 idea in another thread... ;)

''Arch" in the context discussed = architecture, not Arch Linux.
There was some confusion, but Jerry clarified. Have to say I
was a bit confused too at the time.

Maybe they engraves the logos on the screen itself in the first batch and have to get back their losses...
Trolololo! ;)

Just kidding, Manjaro is my favorite Arch... yet. @bitsnpcs mentionned a Linux Lite Arch x64 idea in another thread... ;)
Maybe Jerry will get to that in LL version 7 if Arch stays at the top, get more userfriendly, lower ressources, someone casts a hoodoo spell... We never know! hehe

@Jerry
So, do you think you'll go ahead with the LL branded laptop project?
If the answer's yes, what timescale (very approx.) have you got in mind till they
become available?

I for one will be buying one, if/when they become available  8) 

PS. One of the Manjaro team told me that the reason their laptops are so pricey
(£999 for a 13.3" screen i7 laptop) was because they would be made to order on a per customer
basis, i.e. no bulk buying. They do a quirky thing of engraving the Manjaro logo on the
laptop lid, which no doubt inflates costs.

A thing to check for will be how it behaves with external monitors.

I am using a 14inch laptop, great for portability, but at home it's connected to a 21inch monitor.
This setup is now working a lot better (so far!) since I disabled the built-in display and just use the external. Good to know the particular machine's quirks!

Laptop will undoubtedly be UEFI. One of the first things I'll be doing when I get an order is disabling that.

This is a Celeron CPU.
Will it come with UEFI technology installed on its motherboard, or will it be the traditional BIOS-only setup (if that's at all possible on hardware these days)?

We won't be doing any tablet or ARM devices, sorry. Thanks for all the responses, I'm getting a clearer picture now of what is expected :)
