A little gift to yourself for the holidays perhaps? System76 just announced their AMD Ryzen 8945HS powered Pangolin laptop upgrade. They say the "all-aluminum build feels pristine in your hands" and you'll benefit from a higher resolution screen too.
The main specs:
- AMD Ryzen 8945HS CPU (8 cores, 16 threads).
- AMD Radeon™ 780M integrated graphics.
- Up to 96GB DDR5 5600Mhz RAM.
- Up to 16TB NVMe storage.
- 16" 16:10 2K display (120Hz / 100% sRGB).
- Up to 6 hours battery life.
- Privacy killswitch for camera.
- USB-C charging.
The base model comes in at $1,299 with 16GB RAM and a 500GB PCIe M.2 SSD.
System76 press said: "Whether kicking butt or kicking back, the Pangolin is a great all-around laptop with a beautiful display and premium build quality. While its pristine build makes for a great everyday laptop, the AMD-powered Pangolin also specializes in graphic design and content creation workflows, plus some relaxed gaming."
You can grab one from the System76 store.
System76 also have a holiday sale on right now. Until January 7th you can get up to $400 off certain hardware. This includes discounts on laptops, desktops and keyboards. Maybe time to treat yourself to the customizable System76 Launch keyboard?
As for desktops, I'm seriously considering a system76 for my next one, which will be next year after the radeon 8xxx cards are launched. It'll just depend on price.
