After my last rant about the Loongson 3A6000 laptop, I somehow ended up with a more “advanced” unit to test. The model number says NL60R, and it should be a refresh of the old NL38L chassis. Advanced because it’s on the Loongson 3B6000M platform, which brings better efficiency for laptop use and a more powerful integrated GPU… (though they still seem to call it a discrete GPU). I spent a while with this thing, tried to get some work done on it, wrote about two blog posts, and came away with mixed feelings. As the title says, it’s a good laptop, but a very limited one, and at the same time one that’s at least “usable.” Let’s go through it.
