I recently strongly considered a System76 Lemur but ultimately opted for a Thinkpad X1 Nano instead due to reports of QC issues with Clevo (and thus System76) laptops. It's too bad because I think they get a lot right with bringing Linux to the general consumer market, and Pop!_OS gets a few things right that plain Ubuntu gets wrong.
- GordonS 6y agoHow do you rate the X1?
- kitsunesoba 6y agoI haven't had it long enough yet to say anything conclusive, but initial impressions are good. Compared to a MacBook, build feels solid if not quite as rigid but that's expected with how light it is. Doesn't feel flimsy. Keyboard roughly on par with that of a 2015 MBP, but with a bit more travel. Doing lightweight tasks it doesn't get hot on my lap or spin up its fan. So far have only used the included Windows 10 Pro license. Not sure how Linux fares on it but from what I've read you'll need a distro with a newer kernel.
- xur17 6y agoI have gone down a similar path twice now, and also landed on the Thinkpad X1, due to a mix of QC concerns, low screen resolution, and bulky looking laptop. My main concern about Framework is QC, and making a sleek laptop (something that I would guess would be difficult to get right directly out of the gate).
