System76 Pangolin Linux Laptop now available with Ryzen 9 8945HS and up to 96GB RAM

The System76 Pangolin is a thin, light, and powerful laptop with a big screen, an AMD processor, and a choice of GNU/Linux distributions including Ubuntu and Pop!_OS. Linux PC company System76 has been selling versions of the Pangolin laptop since 2020, and this week the company introduced a new model with an AMD Ryzen 9 8945HS Hawk Point processor and support for up to 96GB of RAM and up to 16TB of storage.

It’s available for purchase now with prices starting at $1299 for a 16GB/500GB configuration.

Earlier this year System76 released a version of the Pangolin laptop with a Ryzen 7 7840U processor, a 16.1 inch display, and 32GB of LPDDR5 memory.

The new model brings a number of improvements. It has a higher-power processor, a higher-resolution display with a faster refresh rate, user-upgradeable memory, a better camera, and a slightly lighter weight. But it’s also a downgrade in at least one area – the new model has a smaller battery than its predecessor. It also has a higher starting price.

Here’s how the latest Pangolin stacks up against its predecessor:

The System76 Pangolin features an aluminum body, a backlit keyboard, stereo upward-facing speakers, and a two-button touchpad. There’s also a microphone kill switch and a camera privacy shutter that lets you disable those features when you’re not using them.

System76 Pangolin Linux laptop updated with Ryzen 7 7840U processor and 16.1 inch display

The System76 Pangolin is a lightweight Linux laptop with and AMD Ryzen processor and a big screen that first debuted in 2021. Since then, System76 has update the laptop a few times bringing improvements like faster processors and better displays.

Now the company has launched a new version that increases the screen size from 15.6 inches to 16.1 inches and replaced the Ryzen 7 6800U processor from last year’s model with a Ryzen 7 7840U chip with improved CPU and graphics performance. But the new laptop still manages to weigh less than 4 pounds. The new Pangolin laptop is available from System76 for $1299 and up. 

The notebook is reasonably compact for a system with such a large display, measuring 371 x 248 x 18mm (14.6″ x 9.8″ x 0.7″) and weighing 1.79 kg (3.95 pounds).

One feature that’s been downgraded from last year’s version? Instead of a 144 Hz display, the System76 Pangolin (2024) has a 60 Hz screen. But it’s still a 1920 x 1080 pixel matte display.

Other features include a 70 Wh battery, 720p webcam, stereo speakers, and a set of ports that includes:

• 1 x USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C (with DisplayPort Alt 1.4 Mode)
• 3 x USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A
• 1 x HDMI 2.0
• 1 x 3.5mm audio
