Hello everyone, I’m considering the Lemur Pro for its combination of lightweight design and long battery life workstation. However, I’m a bit concerned about its build quality. I’ve come across some posts from 1-2 years ago suggesting that the build quality might not be the best. Have there been any improvements or updates in this area or still the same?

    I have the Lemur Pro (lemp9) which is about three years old.

    I really do not have any complaints. Battery life is very good (I did replace the battery, tho, which is easy to do). The display is fine (I don’t need 4K). The keyboard isn’t spectacular, but I also can’t complain. The speakers are awful. I dearly love how lightweight this thing is.

    You want to just get work done and you want battery life? I can’t recommend the Lemur Pro more. It’s pretty good. And of course: a Phillips head is all you need to open the thing up.

    I would not suggest it if you’re a gamer. But if you just want a day-to-day machine that does not irritate you, I’d say go for the Lemur Pro.

    Also, I have had good experiences with the System76 support folk. I’ve had minor issues (WiFi card, cracked control key, etc). They addressed those things quickly.

    Also, you are not constrained to Pop_OS. I have no complaints about Pop_OS. I just prefer Arch.
