PayPalIf you're in the market for a laptop that combines AMD with NVIDIA, you're in luck with the release of the Kudu from System76. As teased back in early January, it's now available to buy starting at $1,799.
Quite the powerhouse really with the rather good Ryzen 9 5900HX, backed up by some pretty good NVIDIA graphics too. This is a laptop for serious enthusiasts who need some power on the go. Buying from System76 would be a good idea if you want top-class Linux support too, since Linux is their dedication. It also comes with your choice of either Ubuntu or their own Pop!_OS.
From the short and sweet press release: "The new Kudu laptop combines the latest in AMD mobile computing with discrete NVIDIA graphics," says Ben Shpurker, Product Manager at System76. "This combination makes it the perfect machine for creating on the go."
