Connectivity-wise, the Linux laptop is very generous and offers one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A port, one USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port with DisplayPort 1.4, one USB 2.0 Type-A port, one Mini DisplayPort 1.4 port, one HDMI port with HDCP, as well as a headphone/microphone combo jack and a dedicated microphone jack.
The laptop also features Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5, and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity, multitouch clickpad, multi-color backlit US QWERTY keyboard, 1.0MP 720p HD webcam, and Kensington Lock.
Like with all of System76’s laptops, Kudu laptop can be ordered with either the company’s in-house built, Ubuntu-based Pop!_OS Linux 21.10 or 20.04 LTS, or with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS.

If you’re in the market for a new laptop, you should sign up to get notified when the Kudu laptop will be available to order on the official website. System76 says that the stock will be limited due to supply shortages, so if you plan on buying one, make sure you’re fast.
