If you’re a Linux fan wanting a fully supported brand new laptop, the new System76 Adder Pro has been revealed today.
System76 believe it’s “a gamers dream Linux machine” – but I’m sure you’ll be the judge of that (especially since the only GPU option is NVIDIA). Anyway, they said it’s “2-3 pounds lighter than the previous Adder WS model” and that it won’t just appeal to gamers but to content creators, multimedia artists, and streaming enthusiasts with its display having a rich palette and great colour accuracy.
From the press release: “We’re excited to bring OLED visuals to our laptop customers,” said Carl Richell, Founder and CEO of System76. “The skills of creators and the sophistication and hardware requirements of today’s computer games call for a laptop like the Adder Pro that has the graphics and color-rendering capabilities, processing speed, and RAM to deliver optimal gaming and creative experiences.”
