Snappier UI and more stability. Has what I need for web dev. Starbucks wifi did not work out the box but summoning the correct incantation was easy enough. Never completely migrated over (music, photos, keychain) because of laziness. Miss using voice commands on one device and having it sync data with the rest of my devices (Apple TV, Mac, and iPhone). Ideally, I would replace all my devices so I could regain this functionality. Recently came back to Mac OS for work. After about a month, I'm finding myself using my System76 Lemur more and more.

Feel free to ask any questions.

How is the keyboard, trackpad, and battery life?
Keyboard seems reliable. The keys are softer than those of an old Macbook, but have slightly more travel and resistance than those of a magic keyboard. The clickity clackity feel is satisfying.

Haven't thought of or used the touchpad much. Limited gestures, adequate size. I don't use it much.

Battery life feels comparable to that of the 2012-2015 Macbook Pros I've used. Can code, browse, and listen to music for maybe 4 hours a charge, and it recharges quickly.
