I’m incredibly excited to have this new machine. I’ve been waiting since I ordered on Dec.29th after returning several other computers due to compatibility issues. This laptop works like a dream.
Lemur Pro i7 1355U 40GB DDR5 1TB PCIE4 Pop!_OS 256GB PCIE3 Windows 11 1080p 60hz Display HDMI 2.1 Thunderbolt 4
It’s so light and sleek I love it! I can’t believe how thin and light this thing is. The case is simple and beautiful as well. Ports galore for a ultra portable. Pop!_OS was preinstalled, and installing Windows the the m.2 drive I threw in when I got it was a breeze. The drivers and full spec/repair database they provide is such a breath of fresh air from the horrible service you get from companies like Dell.
If I had to complain I wish they had used easy access bottom panel ports so you don’t have unscrew all 12 screws to access things like RAM and m2 slots. The “System 76” logo on the front is decal’d on instead of being a more seamless graphic like you’d find from major brands.
Minor gripes. I love this thing. It’s fast, light, quiet, and the battery life is nuts.
Unfortunately I had to for GeForceNow which is where I do all my gaming. Browser only supports 1080p/60. I need my 1440p or 4k 120hz. I can’t do 60hz anymore.
The minute Nvidia ever does a Linux port that Windows install is GONE.
Why would use geforce/Nvidia with a laptop that’s built for linux?
I’ll have to look when I get home but I swear I have a geforcenow app on my Garuda install out of the box… Or maybe it’s subject to the same limitations (or even is browser based itself).
I am curious why you have to or choose to exclusively play games via geforcenow though?
I love the convenience of cloud gaming and not having to keep up on the insanely overpriced GPU market. It’s such a fantastic service. I get zero latency, and it feels like completely native hardware.
There is an electron port of GFN that’s just a chromium web wrapper. Doesn’t bypass any of the browser limitations.
