I am a satisfied customer of System76. I own a Lemur laptop which I basically maxed out. I've had it since December, and am very pleased with the build quality, the keyboard, and the battery life. My suspicion is that a lot of people don't know how to configure a Linux OS for optimal laptop use. I imagine that even if one were to keep the Ubuntu installation that comes with the unit there are many further optimizations that can be performed to improve battery life.

Why on Earth would you want to buy a laptop from a specialty Linux laptop vendor (at more expense for the same specs than a standard Windows OEM laptop) if you just need to optimize the installed Linux to get good battery life? Isn't that supposed to be the value-add of buying from a vendor that specializes in Linux laptops?
