Thanks for sharing.
For a non-gaming choice I would go for the Pangolin. It has better graphics and AMD is better for Linux (?). Even though, it has 10h of battery life against the advertised 14h of the Lemur Pro.
It is so hard to pick, because I'm not even sure if I want to go for an ultra powerful or an ultraportable laptop.
Actually, You are right. I am gonna do like you said. Cheers.
