That&rsquo;s why hardware, especially processors, are specifically designed to squeeze out as much performance without burning the computer down. From time to time, however, you&rsquo;ll hear of some manufacturer boasting of performance comparable to desktop PCs. System76, famed for its Linux computers, makes that same boast by literally putting desktop-class processors inside a behemoth of a laptop known as the Serval WS.<\/p>\n<p>For the CPU, buyers have choices among AMD&rsquo;s third-gen Ryzen processors all the way up to a Ryzen 9 Pro 3900. For graphics, you get to pick between a powerful NVIDIA GTX 1660 Ti or a crazy-powerful NVIDIA RTX 2070. These processors come in rather bulky containers, which explains one of the most immediate drawbacks of the Serval WS.<\/p>\n<p>This thing is huge, thicker than most gaming laptops at 1.28 inches high. It&rsquo;s heavy, too, at 5.95 lbs (2.70 kg), which makes it more fitting as a workstation you won&rsquo;t be carrying around every day. That said, that bulk does visualize the power that lies within.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bigboy\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-624562\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/system76-serval-ws-2.jpg\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2404px) 100vw, 2404px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/system76-serval-ws-2.jpg 2404w, https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/system76-serval-ws-2-641x383.jpg 641w, https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/system76-serval-ws-2-1280x765.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/system76-serval-ws-2-768x459.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/system76-serval-ws-2-1536x918.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/system76-serval-ws-2-2048x1224.jpg 2048w\" alt=\"\" width=\"771\" height=\"461\" data-attachment-id=\"624562\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.slashgear.com\/system76-serval-ws-crams-desktop-cpus-and-gpus-inside-a-laptop-11624560\/system76-serval-ws-2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/system76-serval-ws-2.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2404,1437\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"system76-serval-ws-2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/system76-serval-ws-2-641x383.jpg\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/cdn.slashgear.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/system76-serval-ws-2-1280x765.jpg\" \/><\/div>\n<p>With support for up to 64GB of dual-channel DDR4 RAM and up to 8TB total of storage via SATA or PCIe NVMe, the System76 Serval WS is built like a desktop that you can carry or drag around when absolutely necessary. It makes short work of any office or Web tasks and is more suited for heavy-duty processing, graphics and multimedia work, or even gaming.<\/p>\n<p>At that point, however, it bears noting that the&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/system76.com\/laptops\/serval\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">System76 Serval WS<\/a>&nbsp;comes with the Ubuntu Linux operating system installed by default though it&rsquo;s also possible to dual boot Windows 10 on it. If those caveats are amenable, the next hurdle you need to overcome is the $1,299 price tag for the base configuration, or $4,877 when you max out all the available options.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"tags\">\n<div><strong>See Campaign: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/system76.com\/laptops\/serval\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/system76.com\/laptops\/serval<\/a><br \/><b>Contact Information:<\/b><br \/>Ewdison Then <\/p>\n<p><b>Tags:<\/b><br \/><a href=\"\"><\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/news-category\/wire\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Wire<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/global-regions\/united-states\/\" rel=\"category tag\">United States<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/category\/language\/english\/\" rel=\"category tag\">English<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\" alt=\"image\" width=\"400\" height=\"300\" class=\"cwdfimg\" \/><\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Contact Information:<\/h3>\n<p>Ewdison Then <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"233\" height=\"24\" src=\"https:\/\/icrowdnewswire.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/3998-logo-378.png\" alt=\"\">As powerful as laptops have become, they have always been limited by their size and the laws of physics.
