  • A high-quality laptop without any branding.

    I’m currently using a 9-year-old, woefully underpowered laptop made by Xiaomi. Full aluminium unibody, and NO logo. Not printed on, not etched in, not glistening only in the right light. NO LOGO.

    I’m not a billboard. I’m not responsible for your brand recognition. Ironically though, far more people have come up to me and asked “hey, what laptop is that” than ever would have cared if there was a logo on it.

    It also just looks and feels fantastic, all-aluminium-no-logo just looks so sleek.

    So yeah. I will not be upgrading until I find another laptop of the same build quality, with no logo. Tuxedo has that option for most of their laptops, but for some reason not for their only current full-aluminium body -.-

    Oh, and don’t come at me with stickers.




    • Radicale hosts my calendars and contacts
    • zero-hassle setup in Thunderbird for both of those things
    • DAVx on Android works seamlessly for calendar and contacts Sync
    • Fossify calendar to view, edit calendar
    • default contact app for contacts
    • Infcloud as a web frontend for Radicale. Not pretty, but absolutely functional (and I hardly ever need it thanks to Android calendar app / Thunderbird)

    Haven’t tried todo lists yet, but I would imagine they are similarly hassle-free.

    The only annoyance I have is that DAVx is required at all, but I’d suspect that’s an Android/Google issue? IDK.

    But anyways, this setup works flawlessly for me.
