Galago Pro owner here: I do not recommend this laptop. It's my daily driver at home, and I mostly love it. However, it's only usable because I have an external mouse and keyboard. The built-in keyboard has keys that are hard to press, the trackpad is almost unusable, and the speakers are also laughably bad and quiet. The laptop's build is thicker and heavier than it looks. If you removed the System76 labeling from the laptop and asked me what brand I thought it was, I would guess Acer, and that is not a compliment.
I traded in my MacBook Pro for this one because this has native Linux support, and the cost was the same at $1,600. The hardware qualities are night-and-day different. Granted, a small company like System76 doesn't have the economy of scale that Apple does, but this knowledge doesn't make me feel much better about my purchase.
System76 just came out with a new version of their Lemur laptop, which is slimmer and more portable. It may be worth a look. See here: https://system76.com/laptops/lemur https://system76.com/laptops/lemur
