I am. I bought my first new laptop last year, a System76 Galago Pro, and I love it. I've always wanted to support a Linux-first company and have hardware specifically assembled with Linux in mind, and I got this thing fully upgraded so it's a beast at a fraction of the cost of a similarly-spec'd Macbook Pro. However... some stuff just... is. For example: - I have 2 USB-C ports, but only one of them can do external video. - The USB drive can't provide enough power to my external HD, so I just don't use it. - Sometimes my Bluetooth headphones don't connect, and the only reliable way to get them to work is to reboot. - I'm on an external monitor 90% of the time, but about once a week the laptop doesn't wake the monitor and I can't get the laptop screen back on without hard rebooting. - The dedicated GPU is nice for CUDA programming, but every time I try to use it the fans are so loud it disrupts the household. - I only tried "GPU gaming" on it once, and the fans are louder than the speakers so the only way to do it is with headphones. - The wrong keys were put on the laptop, e.g., "INS" does a print screen, "Pause" moves a page up, and so on. It all technically works but, ugh. I won't need to replace the laptop for over a year from now, but that's about how long I like to do research on this type of stuff. I started considering a MBP, which is what I use for work, but I'm not totally sold. Between their snafu last year where an Apple server went down and nobody could open any desktop program at all, to the recent hard drive scanning/reporting technology they're rolling out, to their total disregard for standards such as removing basic ports, I think I might actually prefer the Galago problems. I'm interested to hear details if anyone else has made a similar decision between laptops like the ones I am considering for my next purchase.
