As a former user of System76 laptops: they are not very lightweight and the keyboards are not very durable.
You better get a bag with wheels if you plan on having one.
- showerst 6y agoNowadays they have a number of normal weight models. My 2019 darter weights 1.6kg, and it looks like the new lemur/galago are 1.1 and 1.41kg respectively. Not ultralight but fairly average.
- 29athrowaway 6y agoHow many inches? Mine was 17" and it wasn't very comfortable to carry it around.
- chrismorgan 6y agoOn the keyboard matter: I got a laptop based on the Clevo W550SU-1 in mid-2014 (not from System76, but the same hardware platform); its keyboard was fair when new, decidedly spongy after one year, and very terrible after two (if typing casually, about a third of the time Space wouldn’t activate, and a few of the most regularly-used letters would sometimes not activate either—the workaround is to press the keys more deliberately). I certainly hope they’ve completely redone the keyboards mechanism since then.
- 29athrowaway 6y agoYes. In my case many keys stopped working and I had to use a separate keyboard instead.
