wtf were they thinking with this keyboard...

nice review but I wouldn't be able to use this keyboard.

As a student and photographer, I was getting frustrated with my laptop having issues with Windows, and my friend installed Pop OS on it (I let him), and I absolutely love it! It just works, and is very buttery smooth. I am considering getting either the Lemur or Pangolin. Great review!

Thanks for this review! I'm surprised at how well it performed unplugged

Thanks for reviewing

Thanks! This certainly looks like it's worth my money. Massive improvements over the lemp9 I had, for sure.

Just found your channel so subbed now - good review, arrow keys don’t bother me but I can definitely see how that would get on a lot of people’s nerves… (I use Arch BTW 😉) 👍

Speedometer consistently uses less than 10% of desktop CPUs capacity for it's javascript tests so it's very weird seeing it used as a benchmark for anything but the barest minimum of a chromebook. Basically all decent keyboards are fully reprogrammable, especially on linux. Being impressed that HDMI works "out of the box" is also a very sad state of affairs, why wouldn't it?

I’m interested seeing the reprogrammable keyboard. And coreboot?? Looks great. I’d like to know if OpenBSD runs on it

Nice laptop but Is the bios fully featured as well? I hate it that most companies allow only very limited bios access.

I would have liked more performance tests, especially sustained loads and if it throttles and loses a lot of performance, mainly because: this is a U-series processor! It only comes with 2 Performance cores, 8 Efficiency cores (perform much less) and 2 ultra efficient cores for any low resource background tasks. This basically has no hyperthreading either with 14 threads (HT on P-cores). This is very different from the Core Ultra 7 155-H for example, which comes with 6 P-cores, 8 E-cores, 2-UE cores and I believe 22 threads instead. I am personally interested in this CPU since I believe it will deliver excellent battery life, but I wish we could see more performance tests.

As far as the arrow position you can adjust reassign it in the software to function the same as you would be used to.

The system76 logo peeled off on mine

Might be able to use the arrow keys,, but I really do need a laptop with dedicated home/end/pgup/pgdown keys, as I also use my function keys and don't want to have to use the fn modififer key to get to them... Unless I'm using an external keyboard, but then the size and light weignt isn't as important Just want something slightly bigger without going up to something that can fit a full keyboard with numpad

I'd been looking for a review of the laptop since it came out. I'd love to see another one covering other things like battery life.

2.2 lbs is equal to exactly 1KG.

Does the 76 system have software in pop os to configure the CPU, such as clock speed etc, because Linux was always hopeless in this respect and you had to install various software and learn how to use it, today it is a bit better. What I care most about is the ability to control the fan speed I practically turn off my fan on windows on the laptop while webrowsing, watch video/youtube, listen music etc. fans only run when I gaming.

Aren’t these still clevos rebranded? I have been wanting one of their laptops, i’d rather not pay the extra for a rebrand Chinese laptop, I liked their OS but I’m going to install a diff distro. The hardware is the main selling point for me with their order config

Love my Pengalin

if only they swapped the keys... F for keyboard :( all in all very cool laptop!

damn better then 90% of the laptops

Holy at that keyboard

Can you charge the laptop with the thunderbolt port?

Can remap the keys? Otherwise completely asinine doing arrow keys like that.

Open source BIOS ???

I’d love for System 76 to make a Surface Pro / ROG Z13 flow competitor. I have the previous gen Lemur Pro and enjoy it but use it 90% in clam shell mode.

Did they fix the SecureBoot they were running unsecure secureboot these PopOS dudes. ?

mannn could u test davinci resolve and windows 10 vm on it ? great videoooo and pretty monitor which one is that?

The question is how much?

Still way too expensive to import. I can buy a Windows laptop for ⅓ of the price, get 3y wty and just either dual-boot or simply wipe the SSD and install Linux. System76 laptops lack 4K Screens and GPU capable of editing 4K+ video.

*12 cores / 14 thread !?!?* This laptop is a beast !! More powerful than all computers I ever had combined for a fraction of power consumption ...

every time you use the pop store the fans will ramp up regardless just so you know

one of the first linux laptop companies so def chil, they need to fix the arrow key thing though dumb and the ? being bigger than shift thing, dumb

The ultimate Linux laptop? Bs... Why do they lock down their bios/firmware, and what about supporting the install of any Linux distro besides their own PopOs. These are trash.
