Above all, Kubuntu Focus M2 is a high-powered Linux laptop born through the collaboration between Kubuntu project, Tuxedo Computers, and Mindshare Management.
The new model features a faster processor, a smaller, lighter body, and still keeps premium features including a 144 Hz display and NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics. The M2 is available now and is smaller, lighter, and faster than the prior generation M1. The 8c/16t i7-10875H CPU is faster by 17% single-core and 58% multi-core.
The finely-tuned Focus virtually eliminates the need to configure the OS, applications, or updates. Kubuntu combines industry standard Ubuntu 20.04 LTS with the beautiful yet familiar KDE desktop. With dozens of Guided Solutions and unparalleled support, the shortest path to Linux success is the Focus.
says The Kubuntu Focus Team.
It’s not cheap though. The Kubuntu Focus M2 is available now for $1795 and up.
The Focus team provides unparalleled customer support with custom order built same-day, Guided Solutions, cross-shipping, and free live support. In addition, the team takes care of the platform so customers can focus on work and play.
