Lemur Pro Linux notebook uses Intel 12th generation Core
Recently, System76, which specializes in Linux computers, has launched a Linux notebook called Lemur Pro, which uses Intel’s latest low-power version of the 12th-generation Core before many Windows notebooks.
The System76 Lemur Pro itself is also a rare thin and light Linux notebook. Its CPU can be selected to Core i7-1255U, which is a 10-core CPU with 2 P-core+8 E-core, the boost clock can reach 4.7GHz, the default 15W TDP. It is a relatively high-end configuration in thin and light notebooks. Most of the current generation of Windows notebooks use P-series Core CPUs.
In addition, you can also choose Core i5-1235U, however, the boost clock is lower, but it is still 10 cores and 12 threads. However, you may be wondering whether the Linux system supports the Alder Lake hybrid architecture well. System76 said that the maximum battery life of the Lemur Pro can reach 14 hours, which should be taken advantage of the E-core.
In other respects, the thickness of the body of Lemur Pro is 1.65cm, and the weight of the whole machine is 1.15kg, which is considered thin and light among 14-inch notebooks. The screen is a 14.1-inch 1080p screen with a matte coating, the memory is optional to 40GB DDR4-3200, and the M.2 SSD has two slots, which can be expanded to 4TB, and has a full range of interfaces including Thunderbolt 4, can be powered by 65W USB-C, and has a backlit keyboard.
Finally, in the software part, Lemur Pro uses an open-source BIOS based on Coreboot, with embedded controller firmware, which can support Ubuntu and Pop! Linux systems. At present, System76 has launched this Linux notebook with a starting price of $1149. This version is a Core i5-1235U + 8GB + 240GB SSD, while the i7 version is $200 more expensive.
