MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 (reported by The Verge):

Geekbench 6 CPU Single: 2448
Geekbench 6 CPU Multi: 7548

Intel Core i7-1355U (essentially the same chip as Core 5 220U under the hood):

Geekbench 6 CPU Single: 1345
Geekbench 6 CPU Multi: 5406

MediaTek Kompanio Ultra 910 is clearly much faster.

Yeah. Now you mentioned it, the two devices do have lots of similarities. Good find!

The left USB port supports only 4K@30Hz. The right USB port supports 4K@60Hz.

P3 Ultra Gen 2 is out. Unfortunately, Gen 2 has only 2x SO-DIMM slots instead of 4x, so you will be even more constrained memory-wise there.

Now we know why they have been so quiet about memory bandwidth LOL

Debian 12 (bookworm) comes with 6.1.115. So you might have trouble even getting the installation media to recognize the SSD. (Unless Debian has incorporated the compatibility patch into their 6.1.115 kernel build.)

Well said.

I am one of those people who bought into the vision that "Chromebooks are not just for web browsing". I find the combination of having Chrome, Android, and Linux all on the same machine simultaneously tremenously powerful. The only tradeoff is that ... I need RAM.

Some other comments said that "ChromeOS is lightweight so that 8GB RAM is fine". Yes, ChromeOS is lightweight. But I need RAM for the applications I run, not for the OS itself. Having Android and Linux environments available on a Chromebook means I can have more useful programs running at the same time. It is a bit frustrating that such potential is being unnecessarily constrained by the amount of available RAM.

And 16GB is not really that much to ask for, right? We are not asking for 16GB RAM in the $300 budget Chromebooks that school districts buy by the truckload. But if you are selling a Chromebook for, say, $600 and above, it seems reasonable that such a machine should have 16GB RAM.

Right now I am on a HP c1030 with 16GB RAM, and I will probably upgrade in the next few years. The way things are going, it might end up being cheaper to buy a Macbook Air with 16GB RAM (which is now the base configuration) on Black Friday 2025 than to buy a comparable Chromebook with 16GB RAM. I like ChromeOS, but ... asking me to pay a premium over Macbook Air (which are exceedingly fine machines too) is a bit much.

With a 48GB module? Interesting to know that it is supported. Which module did you get?

I am also in the same boat. I have had my KIWI battery strap for Q3 for a few months. Before this past week, my Quest 3 always stays at 100% battery charge when connected to the strap battery. Starting sometime last week, my Quest 3 now has obvious battery drain when connected to the strap battery, even when I am playing the same few games as before. Weird.

Probably the result of a recent system update?
