System76 just gave their ultra-portable laptop the Lemur Pro a nice upgrade, here's what's now included with it.
This isn't just portable in name only, as they're claiming a 14 hour battery life. Naturally that depends on what you're doing with it but the 73 Wh battery should do quite well when you need it to. It's also super thin at 0.65 inches (~16.51mm) tall. It also features a 180° hinge, if for whatever reason you need to lay it out flat.

"We believe the Lemur Pro is the perfect tool for those who need to work on the go, whether it's in the field collecting data or doing developer work remotely."
Clearly some gamers in their company, with the Lemur Pro page showing a little video of Black Mesa on the product page.

I miss the time of the eeePC from Asus, back in 2008 i think. Linux native, light, cheap (less than 400€), "real" computer (opposed to tablet with tactile stuff, or worst, smartphone), they were perfect for real nomad use, office, internet, 2D games or many small indie or roguelike, etc. And durable, i still boot mine from time to time when i’m on the move.
I had a eeePC 901, played Cataclysm Dark Days Ahead, X@COM, TOME4... My current eeePC is unknown (nothing written on it, i think it’s 1201 but not sure), and rarely opened, but sometimes, a couple of weeks a year, i’d say, it’s usefull.

I was a big fan of them, too.Though this looks like a nice machine, it's not what I was hoping to see when I clicked in here! (Which, admittedly, was before I really took note of the size mentioned in the headline.

This lemur looks like a great machine. I remember the age of netbooks but couldnt get myself to go smaller than a 12-inch screen.
@Tchey and @Pengling, have you seen this device? Looks like a netbook to me. https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/pocket-reform

Bookmarked - thanks very much!

That’s at least 1000$ per unit without accessory. Also, too tiny for my taste and hands...

Wow! A laptop that's actually portable, unlike these "gaming laptops" I never understood why anyone would want one. Looks nice!

That time is still here, better than ever.
Many Chromebooks can run regular Linux distros very well. My 2017 Pixelbook is still my favorite laptop of all time, runs Fedora great, is all those things you described, can be had cheap.

Firmwareis it, really? I mean - this really doesn't have any proprietary firmware in it? and what about the CPU firmware though? is the Intel ME also disabled?
System76 Open Firmware (coreboot, EDK2, System76 Firmware Apps)
System76 Open Source Embedded Controller Firmware
This seems a sci-fi to me, I would love to be surprised though...
Does anyone know?
Cheers
