As promised, Linux computer company System76 is now selling a 14 inch laptop powered by an Intel Tiger Lake processor with Intel Iris Xe graphics and optional support for NVIDIA graphics. The new System76 Galago Pro is now available for US$ 999 and up.
The laptop features a full HD matte
display, a body that measures 12.8″ x 8.9″ x 0.7″ and which weighs about 3.1
pounds, and support for up to a Core i7-1165G7 processor, NVIDIA GeForce GTX
1650 graphics, 64GB of RAM, and 2TB of storage.
A model configured with those features
will cost you more than US$ 2,000 though. If you’re interested in the entry-level
configuration for less than half the price, you’ll end up with a notebook featuring
an Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor, 8GB of RAM, and a 500GB SSD. The notebook
ships with a choice of Ubuntu 20.04 LTS or a custom Linux distribution called
Pop!_OS developed by System76 and the Galago Pro features open firmware based
on Coreboot.
And under the hood, the notebook supports
DDR4-3200 RAM, PCIe Gen 4 NVMe storage, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5. The Galago pro
has stereo speakers, a 720p webcam, and a 49 Wh battery.
