I finally got my hands on a @system76 laptop: the Pangolin, a 15 inch ultrabook, sleek, with plenty of ports, a full AMD loadout, and solid performance and battery life.

System76 Pangolin Review: the 15" all rounder AMD Linux laptop

YouTube
@thelinuxEXP @system76 I love System76, but I've always felt like the design of their laptops is a bit too... utilitarian.
@thelinuxEXP @system76 And I'm sure many people love that, but it would be nice to have one that looks more like a modern fruit-company based design. I would buy that in a heartbeat.
@thelinuxEXP @system76 I like it, but heard that it doesn't support thunderbolt. I've invested too much into thunderbolt docks over the past 3 years.
@thelinuxEXP @system76 I just have to say this - a laptop which is built for work absolutely MUST have a decent microphone, and then goes webcam. Shout-out to all manufacturers - please, spend $5 more on a decent mic and $20 more for a camera. Not mentioning the speakers....without all these minor things you will always be a "poor-er" replacement of everybody knows what
@thelinuxEXP I have the previous generation and love it. Am looking to upgrade just for the new CPU my old one has a 4700u. I just really wish @system76 would add an 11"-13" AMD ultrabook to their line, the numpad placement still throws me off when typing.
@thelinuxEXP great review Nick. I was a day-one purchaser but ultimately had to return it. My unit had way to many issues to justify keeping it
