The speaker begins by expressing surprise at the weight of the packaging for the Aurora laptop, which is a carbon fiber model. The laptop's chassis is handcrafted and takes over 250 hours to create, using artisans who typically work on space equipment. It features high-tier specs, including a Ryzen 5900H processor and RTX 3070 graphics.
The speaker also mentions that the laptop comes with a custom, handcrafted wide Linus face top cover, which is not removable. The laptop runs on Linux Ubuntu and has a separate battery that is shipped separately. The laptop's specifications include a 12700 core i7 processor, RTX Ti 240Hz IPS 15.6 inch 1080p display, 32GB RAM, and a 1TB SSD.
The speaker notes that the laptop has 81 quality checks before it is shipped, and that the laptop is part of a custom experience. The laptop's top panel is made of carbon fiber and is 2.2 kilograms in total. The laptop also has a three-year warranty, which is unusual in the electronics industry.
The speaker also mentions that the laptop has a desktop chip in it, and that the RAM, SSD, and CPU are upgradable. The laptop's cooling solution is described as "beefy", with a large heatsink element focusing on CPU cooling and two thick heat pipes over the CPU and VRM. The laptop also has a 2.5-inch SSD mount.
The speaker mentions that a portion of the proceeds from each Aurora laptop sale goes to the artisan who worked on the shell. The speaker also mentions that the laptop was shipped with Linux on it and no GPU driver, which caused some initial difficulties. The speaker also mentions that the laptop is running better now, with the GPU processing Vulkan shaders instead of launching in OpenGL mode.
The speaker concludes by expressing relief that the laptop is not bricked and thanking the audience for their time.
