How's fit and finish on those?
Build quality is a big deal. I feel like the midline for PC makers is pretty low -- Dell has mostly been kinda trashy, though the XPS machines have a good feel to them (it's a shame they've been kind of lemony for us).
Absent the keyboard kerfluffle, Apple's build quality has traditionally been very high -- IME, on par with the IBM-era ThinkPads in the sense that the hardware lasts longer than technical viability. How is S76 here?
- mrtranscendence 5y agoI've not used a System76 laptop, but I had a coworker who used them for a long while. He never had particularly kind things to say about the polish. I'm overall not too impressed by what I see on their website; I really want a higher-res display at least. The coworker did eventually move to a Mac, but has recently expressed dissatisfaction and may move back to Linux. Not sure if that'll be with a System76 machine, though.

- istingray 5y agoLemur Pro: Fit and finish is a A- for PCs (B compared to a Mac) Solid build, no super weird stuff on the Lemur Pro. The silkscreen for one of the USB ports says 3.1 but it's 3.2. The webcam has a little lip. Trackpad is pretty clickey (ive been used to apple synthetic click)
