I have a Starling Netbook from system76. Nothing to write home about, but I've had few, if any real problems with it.
It's a little flimsy, physically.
And I am a proud free software zealot, so I moved it to debian.
- parula 17y agoThat's strange, because I also have a System76 Starling and it seems very sturdy to me. I even dropped it once and it was none the worse for wear. It's been a very hardy and well-functioning machine for me.
- api 17y agoHmm... if it's flimsy I probably wouldn't like it. One thing I don't like about Apple hardware is how you have to treat it like a family heirloom or it turns into a scratched up mess. Anything less hardy than that would be unusable. Toughbooks are also promising, but they're light on the specs... could someone please make a durable and well-specced laptop?

- scdlbx 17y agoI wasn't particularly gentle with my MacBook Pro and it never got scratched or damaged.
- more_original 17y agoI moved to a Thinkpad (from a Powerbook) two years ago and couldn't be happier. Ubuntu just works and the hardware feels more solid that the Powerbook did.
