System76: Notebook comes with powerful Ryzen APU and up to 96 GB of RAM

System76 is now offering a new iteration of its Pangolin laptop, which now comes in an aluminum housing and with a solid range of hardware specs. An AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS is always installed as the CPU, but there are many configuration options in terms of RAM and SSDs. Between 16 and 96 GB of 5600 MHz RAM is possible, while two M.2 SSDs with a total storage capacity of 16 TB can be installed. The operating systems available are Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Ubuntu 24.04 LTS.

The notebook weighs 1.73 kg and has a 16.1-inch screen with a resolution of 2,560 x 1,600, a refresh rate of 120 Hz, and is said to provide complete sRGB color space coverage. A USB 4.0 port, a USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type C port and three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type A ports are on board. A microSD card reader is available. Wireless connectivity comes in the form of WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2. A 1,080p webcam and a microphone are available, both of which can be deactivated via a hardware button. The approximately 1.8 cm thick Pangolin notebook comes with a 57.75 Wh battery, which can be charged with 100 watts via USB. 

The model is now available in the USA at a price of $1,299. Buyers looking for a configurable laptop based on AMD or Intel are advised to take a look at the Framework laptop.
