Linux-focused hardware vendor System76 has unveiled a new generation of its Adder WS laptop, a machine designed for users who require desktop-class performance without the need for a desktop tower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 15- and 17-inch models now ship with Intel\u2019s Core Ultra 9 275HX<\/strong> processor and NVIDIA\u2019s latest laptop \u201c50-Series\u201d graphics, marking the most substantial update to the Adder line since its 2024 redesign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Benchmarks collected by Technical City<\/a> show the 24-core Core Ultra 9 275HX scoring roughly one-quarter higher in aggregate performance than the previous flagship Core i9-14900HX\u2014an uplift of about 24% that should translate into shorter compile times, faster renders, and brisker AI model training on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite identical 55W TDP envelopes, the Ultra chip\u2019s additional efficiency cores and Meteor Lake architecture appear to deliver more compute per watt, which is a notable achievement in a portable chassis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Graphics configurations have moved to NVIDIA\u2019s brand-new GeForce RTX 50<\/strong> family. The 15-inch Adder WS can be ordered with an RTX 5050 or 5060, while the 17-inch chassis adds the beefier RTX 5070 to the mix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These GPUs unlock DLSS 4 frame generation, fourth-generation Tensor cores for on-device inference, and AV1 hardware encoding\u2014handy for streamers and content creators alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regarding memory and storage, System76 keeps upgrade paths wide-open: up to 96 GB of DDR5-5600<\/strong> in dual-channel mode and as much as 12 TB of PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage spread across three M.2 slots. The port situation remains generous\u2014USB-A, dual USB-C\/DP 2.1, HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet, and a headset jack\u2014so adapters can stay in the desk drawer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the wireless side, the new boards transition to Wi-Fi 7 for multi-gigabit throughput and reduced latency. At the same time, Bluetooth 5.4 enhances range and lowers power consumption for peripherals and audio devices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, both panel sizes retain a 1920\u00d71080 matte IPS display<\/strong> at 144 Hz, plus, the 17-inch model adds a physical camera privacy shutter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can expect from a Linux hardware vendor, the new Adder WS ships with System76\u2019s own Pop!_OS 22.04 LTS or Ubuntu 24.04 LTS. The laptop is currently $100 off through July 15, with prices starting at $1,999<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
