Three years with a Lemur Pro (alien.top)

Aside from the lousy speakers and the occasional bounce keys, I have to say the Lemur Pro may be my favorite laptop I have owned (I used MacBook Pros for a long time).

I ended up switching to Arch with KDE, but hardware-wise it's a solid machine. And I appreciate the technical support I've received (minor issues). I love the battery life on this thing.

I also appreciate: easy to swap SSDs, easily replaced battery, a keyboard and track pad that work just fine, and again: tech support. I know some people who have issues with sleep on Lenovo laptops running Linux; this has absolutely never been an issue on the Lemur Pro. Works perfectly for me.

I'll probably run this thing for another three years.

I saw that article. And that's for the more recent Lemur Pro.

It isn't perfect (I have the Lemur Pro 9) but it works very well if you're not a gamer, you just want to write code, you want to run whatever Linux distro, you're not expecting a "boom box", etc.
