When I saw this in my newsfeed, I was legitimately interested. Anything to avoid Spectre/Meltdown/Zombieload mitigation performance hits.

I wonder if these laptops or Spectre/Meltdown/Zombieload will make a LTT video in the near future. Not a heavy gamer, but game on Linux. Plus, I want a laptop more durable than a Inspiron. Every Inspiron I owned, there was some issue with regards to the hinges.

No, if your platform has the issue. Unless they figure out a way to fix the exploit while keeping the performance in the future.
