I was configuring a 15 inch Gazelle: i7 6700HQ + 32GB RAM + 250GB SSD comes to around $1300. Good value. Anyone have experience with System76 laptops recently?

Anyone have experience with System76 laptops recently? How is the build quality, battery life, service? There are not many reviews about the laptops.
- dudul 10y agoThe latest Lemur is supposed to be really great. I have an old-gen (4 years old), and it still works pretty well.
- dsr_ 10y agoI've been buying them for work and family for about 10 years now. Build quality is good, battery life reasonable, service is very good. These aren't aluminum-bodied macbooks, they are along the lines of Dell or HP business machines.
- mcguire 10y agoI have a 4 year old Gazelle that I've been mostly satisfied with. It never did have much battery life, so that hasn't gotten better, but no major problems otherwise. It does use Nvidia graphics, for which driver support is crap. And unlike previous machines, the issues haven't disappeared with upgrades. A failure to resume is the most common bug. A special award goes to Chrome, which likes to use the acceleration and will leave the main Chrome window on top of the screen after the application is hidden. (Using a nonstandard manager such as Xmonad or ratpoison.)
