Figure I might as well drop a quick review after 2 years with the lemur pro 11
Pros:
* Most things "just work", which you only appreciate after working with other linux laptops. For example, I can seamlessly plug this laptop in place of my work macbook with just one usb-c cable. That being said I think things have generally gotten better in the space so this may not be as much of a selling point anymore. Additionally this laptop doesn't have an nvidia gpu, which means its job is easier.
* Great compatibility for building software between my desktop and this laptop, makes my personal dev work a lot more portable.
* It's quite small and very portable.
* Nice keyboard
* Moral points for supporting a small company that focuses on security (whether this is actually significant is up to the reader)
Cons:
* Battery life is a lie, especially since it drains almost as much battery closed as it does open.
* Not great screen, terrible trackpad, and silly webcam considering the price of the laptop.
* As mentioned no gpu, while costing about the same as razor laptop.
Overall, I think I am probably going to switch back to a macbook after this, not being able to go a day without charging and your laptop always being on low battery is a bit anxiety inducing. Also (and this doesn't matter to a lot of people) I really value a laptop trackpad and this one is just plain bad.
