System76 Galago Pro Linux laptop now has two screen size options
Just yesterday, we shared the news that System76 had refreshed its popular Oryx Pro laptop. The Linux community was abuzz with excitement over the thinner and faster notebook. After all, it offers a lot of horsepower at a very affordable price. Heck, the battery life has even doubled compared to its predecessor!
The computer seller is apparently not ready to slow down, however, as today it also refreshes its affordable and svelte Galago Pro Linux ultrabook. What's particularly exciting about the new model is that it has two screen sizes -- 13 inch HiDPI or 14 inch 1080p (in matte). Regardless of which you choose, the overall dimensions stay the same. How can that be, you ask? Well, for the 14 inch model, the bezels are just thinner.
"Galago Pro launches today offering users two new size options. Choose the 13 inch HiDPI display for crisper text and graphics or the 14 inch 1080p display with a thinner bezel for more viewing space. The same ultra-lightweight laptop still features the favorited all-aluminum chassis, while boasting up to 32 GB of RAM, 6 TB of storage, and an i5 or i7 processor," says System76.
