Though they are an old player building Linux based desktop, server, or laptop, they’re now including their own services more. Hence, the latest Lemur Pro targets to bring high battery power and lightweight with either their own pre-loaded Ubuntu-based Pop!_OS or Ubuntu.

Lemur Pro: Technical Specifications

Lemur Pro relies more on the open-source software built by System76, such as Firmware (Coreboot, EDK2) and Ubuntu-based Linux distro Pop!_OS. But, if you love beginner-friendly Ubuntu more, you can install it as well.

The 10th generation Intel processor with quad-core enhances the gaming experience more on its 14.1 inch Matte IPS. The graphics unit provides the Ultra High Definition display and 720p High definition for a webcam.

For an external device connection, Lemur offers both USB Type-C and Type-A cables alongside HDMI and MicroSD ports. Moreover, you can connect without wires using Wi-Fi or Bluetooth.

If you care about the speed of runtime applications, worry not, as it has RAM of up to 40GB that runs at 2666MHz. In addition to that, Lemur also has two M.2 SSDs that sums up to 4TB of free storage.

At last, the thing that also matters the most is the price. Lemur Pro is the lightest but not the cheapest than Galago Pro that costs only $949. The basic cost of a Lemur Pro is $1,099.
