Aside from the lousy speakers and the occasional bounce keys, I have to say the Lemur Pro may be my favorite laptop I have owned (I used MacBook Pros for a long time).
I ended up switching to Arch with KDE, but hardware-wise it’s a solid machine. And I appreciate the technical support I’ve received (minor issues). I love the battery life on this thing.
I also appreciate: easy to swap SSDs, easily replaced battery, a keyboard and track pad that work just fine, and again: tech support. I know some people who have issues with sleep on Lenovo laptops running Linux; this has absolutely never been an issue on the Lemur Pro. Works perfectly for me.
I’ll probably run this thing for another three years.
Odd. I find this very odd. I have had none of the issues you mention.
Touch pad is fine, the machine does not run warm, but I can’t comment on Pop_OS as I moved to Arch.
Have you reached out to S76? The few times I have, they have been very responsive.
