Lemur Pro 11: 6 months review

[@jayspeidell]

Thanks for reviewing this, you're the only person who has reviewed the current model.

I bought it and think it's great. Loaded arch on it and did some configurations, battery life lasts great with hibernation. The laptop is super light, slim & handy. The MacBook Air of Linux Laptops :)

[@MehdiTaleghanii]

is it still working well??! do you still like it?

[@nikhilmaan9498]

thx for this review I'm think to buy this laptop

[@x12hr]

if anyone owns this model, I was wondering how it holds up against larger tasks like running virtual machines or dual booting kali with pop!_os. I just need to know if I should go for a higher preforming option.

I'm a dev too. Can you please describe how much the webcam sucks? Also how is the trackpad for gestures? Is it glass? Also how much time would I get editing code, debugging, running docker containers, multiple tabs open etc etc? The apps I develop in my spare time are pretty standard (Spring boot apps mostly with some C++) 5 hours is kind of shocking.

The webcam quality and clarity is terrible, ngl. You could probably have a standup without making your coworkers barf but it’s not a key feature. :) The trackpad is pretty nice, smooth plastic but it works just fine. I do get around 4-5 hours under load- I run 3 or 4 logins at a time, each with jetbrains IDEs open. I also have docker running, so I think your experience will be pretty similar to my own.

Lemur Pro 11 is repairable?

[@easlern]

I believe they have a warranty! And they’re assembled in Colorado iirc, so I imagine system76 will work on them if you need something fixed

[@DanliDeng]

Did you just the battery only can last 5 hours? They claim it can last up to 14 hours?

[@easlern]

Yeah- 5 hours is sort of on the lower end. When I’m doing real day-to-day work on it. But this is on par with my Yoga 6, and I don’t remember the last time I used my charger while out and about. I don’t work in stretches that long. I think I need to recharge before the laptop does. 😆

I bought a S76 laptop and have regretted it. The trackpad is phony. It pisses me off every time I use it. Great 0S. Great desktops. But their laptops are worthless unless you want to pack around a mouse. They know about this problem and they refuse to do anything about it. Instead, they want to sell you a 200 usd keyboard., which is ludicrous. Learn from my experience or don't. It's the truth and nothing more.

[@gmoney8975]

Exactly, out of 8 laptops or so it would be nice to know which model specifically. Also, was your last machine a high end MacBook?

[@ar_xiv]

@@gmoney8975it is truly insane that apple still has the only good trackpad in the game after, what, 15 years?
