Anybody have experience with System76? I've been on the lookout for a replacement for my ancient thinkpad and they came up as a contender along with eluks. Looking for something with no OS or Linux since I'll immediately wipe and install my own
I'll never game on it (just now realizing this is a gaming community :) so GPU doesn't matter a ton. More interested in CPU/RAM/storage and cost. Even battery life doesn't matter a lot since I'm rarely mobile, but nice to have.
I have used their Lemur Pro for a few years now. I haven't had any hardware issues with it at all. Just a solid, basic laptop.
That said, the 16:9 screen was kinda annoying to me when doing software development work. I've recently switched to a Framework laptop but the Lemur still chugs along.
If you're cool with their laptop design, System 76 is perfectly fine imo.
