   Anyone has opinions on the new #System76 Lemur Pro with #coreboot and #linux preinstalled?

     I'm thinking of buying one to replace my current Thinkpad X1.

     @codewiz It looks nice. A touch out of my price range for what I'd want, though. I'd also ask about a blank drive rather than their offerings of OS.

     @PoCampo I will just move my NVMe drive (and expect it to boot with UEFI even on a Coreboot machine).

     @codewiz there's a lot of hype out there for PopOS but I'm just not a fan, personally.

     Trying to decide on the processor for the #System76 Lemur Pro, but oddly the i5-1235U has a higher "CPU Mark" score than the i7-1255U:

     @system76, this can't be correct, right?

     The same "performance inversion" is reported also for the higher TDP Alder Lake CPUs used by the Thinkpad X1G10 🤔

     This article blames the bad performance of the i7 on the high TDP, but it mostly covers the Alder Lake-P, whereas the Lemur Pro uses the ultra low-power U-series.
