Kudu, this is the new System76 Linux laptop: AMD Ryzen 9 and up to 64GB of RAM

System76 is a company that is best known for being a hardware manufacturer. But for Linux users, it is also the team behind the Pop_OS operating system that it presented a few months ago. Cosmic, a proprietary graphical environment based on GNOME. In addition, it is already known that he is working on more visual changes, as we already publish last November. But today's news has more to do with hardware, and that is that they have presented a laptop that they have called Kudu.

From the outset, what is most striking about Kudu is its processor, a AMD Ryzen 9 5900HX with which we can do everything and quickly. RAM can also be one of its strengths, as up to 64GB of DDR4 RAM can be added. Logically, the more sugar, the sweeter, but also more money. The list of technical specifications is completed by the following components.
