System76 Lemur Pro Linux laptop refresh brings Intel Panther Lake and two screen sizes: 14 or 16 inches - Liliputing
The System76 Lemur Pro is a thin and light Linux laptop that’s been around in one form or another for about six years. But this year System76 is bringing the biggest updates to its little laptop yet… in more ways than one.
First of all, the newest version of the notebook is powered by an Intel Panther Lake processor, with support for up to an Intel Core Ultra X7 358H chip, which should bring a big boost in CPU and graphics performance. But System76 is also now offering two screen sizes: the Lemur Pro now comes in 14 inch and 16 inch versions.

System76 Adder Pro Packs RTX 5070 Into 1.53 kg Linux Laptop Due Mid-July
System76 unveiled the Adder Pro on July 4, a 15.3-inch Linux gaming laptop that weighs 1.53 kg — nearly a kilogram lighter than the company's current RTX 5070-capable machines — and pairs Intel's latest Panther Lake processor with discrete Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 or RTX 5070 Laptop graphics. The machine ships in mid-July with no price announced, running Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS or Ubuntu 26.04 LTS out of the box.
For Linux developers and power users who have long had to choose between portability and discrete GPU performance, the Adder Pro closes that gap directly. Until now, System76's RTX 5070-capable Oryx Pro 16 weighed around 2.25 kg, and the Adder WS 15 came in at approximately 2.4 kg. The new machine sheds close to 900 grams from those options in a chassis that measures 34.37 × 26.19 × 1.98 cm — under 20 mm thin. Full specs are available on System76's Adder Pro teaser page.

System76 Refreshes the Lemur Laptop
If you're an executive, consultant, college student, digital nomad, or remote worker, you should consider the latest version of the Lemur laptop as your go-to. Powered by Intel's next-gen Panther Lake chip, the Lemur has been improved for AI acceleration, clock speed, graphics, mobility for gaming, and memory management.
“We’re always innovating to meet our customers’ changing business and lifestyle computing needs,” said Carl Richell, founder and CEO of System76. “The new Lemur versions take full advantage of the Panther Lake chip’s efficiency, and users should experience up to 30-50 percent multi-core performance boosts. The Lemur Pro enables users to enjoy the best of both worlds: ergonomic design and extended battery life for unprecedented portability, and the very latest processor technology to handle the most taxing computing-power workloads.”
The new Lemur is available in 14” or 16” versions. Both versions come in under three points and include System76's longest-ever battery life (at around 18 hours from a full charge), 32GB of memory, and up to 4TB of storage.

TechRadar ☛ The lightest Linux laptop ever just launched, and it challenges the MacBook Air for battery life
System 76, a Denver, Colorado-based company which focuses on selling systems with Linux preinstalled, has refreshed its 2020 Lemur Pro, offering major internal upgrades, multiple display options, and battery life that parallels that of a MacBook Air.
At just under 1 kg for the 14-inch variant and 1.34kg for the 16-inch variant, it is also the lightest Linux-first laptop in the business in the 14-inch form factor, despite packing a battery with a rated 18 hours of life between cycles.
This puts it in the same weight class as the 14-inch LG Gram and the 13.3-inch Fujitsu LifeBook lineup, even as it offers considerably beefier internals than either model.
