At any rate, it provides a lot of angle to choose from so it should suite most anyone’s needs. I am not sure who would benefit from a flattened out laptop screen, but I’m sure there’s someone who appreciates it. The screen has an extreme range of viewing angles, all the way back to flat on the desk. Using Tweaks I can make that change system wide in a just a few clicks, which is super helpful. Unfortunately my eyes are not great for seeing close up, so I need larger fonts to see well. The screen clarity is quite good too, but I did tweak the fonts a bit using the gnome-tweak-tool. On the other hand, I wish it could get just a touch darker for night viewing. The colors on the screen are striking and vibrant, not retina vibrant but really good and the screen can be turned up super bright. The screen does not provide touch support. I like the wider screen, it makes the screen feel bigger than its 14.1 inches. The aspect ratio is 16:9, which is new for me because all my other laptops have had a 16:10 aspect ratio. The screen has what I will call a soft matte finish. Also, the screen bezel is nice and thin, optimizing the maximum amount of screen area. The screen hinge feels smooth and solid, and it looks descent too. At this point I have not tried any of the other ports, but I did order a USB-C charger with a magnetic break cable to prevent my laptop from taking flight if someone trips on the cord. The power button, although recessed on the side and very slim, is easy to find by feel without having to tilt the laptop to see it. I am not a fan of sloppy feeling ports, to me they make a device seem cheap. The two USB 3.0 ports provide a nice snug fit for cables, which is something I appreciate. I’m not joking, I love the cloth that it comes with and I hope I don’t lose mine. If you’re like me and dislike excessive smudging, then you’re in luck System76 includes a really nice cloth that does an excellent job of cleaning things up. The case is mostly smudge resistant, but after use you will definitely notice some smudging on the outside surfaces, as well as on the keyboard, trackpad and palm rest areas. Although it’s probably a coincidence, I think it’s kind of cool and plays nicely into the whole System76 Marv3n space theme. It’s a nice shade of black in a matte/mattish finish and in just the right sunlight you can see some very, very, tiny silver speckles, but with indoor lighting they are impossible to see. The laptop’s case is made from some type of aluminum. It’s light! I travel often for work, and I am always happy to shave off carry weight wherever I can. I had read that the Lemur is 2.2 pounds, but I did not really appreciate that fact until after I held it in my hand. It’s lighter by several ounces than my Surface Pro 6, and that’s with the Typecover attached. The thing I immediately noticed when I picked up the new Lemur Pro is that it is amazingly light. I’ll try to cover the topics that a laptop shopper might be interested in reading about. These are my impressions in the first 24 hours. I just received mine with an i7 processor, dual 500GB nVME drives, Wifi 6, and 24 gigabytes of RAM. If you’re new here, System76 recently released a powerful ultra-thin, ultra-light 14.1” laptop. If you frequent this System76 sub-reddit, then by now you have heard about the new Lemur Pro.
