System76 has updated its Lemur Pro laptop series with 14-inch and 16-inch new variants both built around the Intel Panther Lake platform. The 14-inch model measures 31.2 x 22.3 x 1.7 cm, features a 1920 x 1200 FHD+ panel and weighs just 0.998 kg. The 16-inch model uses a 2560 x 1600 QHD+ display, weighs 1.34 kg and measures 35.8 x 25.3 x 1.96 cm. Both laptops use 16:10 matte panels with 100% sRGB coverage. For power and charging the laptops use a 65 W USB-C external charger. System76 says that the 73 Wh battery can provide up to 18 hours of battery life, a step ahead of the previous Lemur Pro generation. For CPUs, users can choose from the Intel Core Ultra X7 358H 16-core (4P+8E+4LPE), 4.8 GHz, 50 TOPS chip with Intel Arc B390 integrated graphics or the Core Ultra 5 325, an 8-core (4P+4LPE), 4.5 GHz, 47 TOPS processor and standard Intel Graphics.
Both Lemur Pro laptops are equipped with 32 GB of LPDDR5X memory at 7467 MT/s and an M.2 PCIe Gen 4 x4 slot supporting up to 4 TB. Connectivity features include Thunderbolt 4 with power delivery, two USB 3.2 Gen 2 ports (one Type-C, one Type-A), a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, microSD, HDMI, Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth 6. Users can also choose from Linux-based OS such as Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS with the COSMIC desktop, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. Pricing starts at $1,999, and it is worth noting that the previous-generation System76 Lemur Pro 14-inch could be configured with up to 56 GB of DDR5 RAM and 8 TB of NVMe storage for $1,699. However, the previous series featured a 14th Gen Intel Core Ultra processor and up to “just” 14 hours of battery life.
