System76 has launched the 2024 refresh of the Lemur Pro. The new Linux laptop brings Intel Meteor Lake processors in a familiar design. To be specific, it's available with Intel Core Ultra 5 125U and Core Ultra 7 155U CPUs. As for the price, the base model with 8 GB of RAM and a 500 GB PCIe 4.0 SSD is $1,399.https://www.notebookcheck.net/System76-Lemur-Pro-Linux-laptop-gets-updated-with-Intel-Meteor-Lake-processors.816219.0.html
A bit of irony about System76 - they advertise on their website that they support Right to Repair but solder 8 GB of RAM to the motherboard of this laptop, which limits upgrades and repair.
Looks like a solid laptop, but the price just isn't justified when you can get a laptop with the same specs for cheap and install Pop!_OS yourself.
Could you do a review of this laptop please? I'm interested to know about the speaker, keyboard and battery life.

While I totally agree with the soldering stuff, I will remind that System76 are rebranded clevo laptops. I think they do a few minor modifications but fundamentally stuck with whatever clevo gives them (in this case: CLEVO L240TU I think)
The bright side to them is they include open firmware instead of proprietary like most systems
But yeah, I wouldn't buy anything with soldered components regardless the reason
