All developers at our company get one of these delivered as part of their onboarding. They're pretty amazing. My only gripe is I re-imaged the machine and getting all of the drivers working and configurable is kind of a pain in the ass (the byproduct being the fans are going 100% always)
I treat mine like a server, sitting in a rack. I ssh into it to create ad-hoc test/dev environments. It's really fast and reliable. Love it. Having 64 cores and 512GB RAM is a treat.
- spaceywilly 3y agoI worked for a company a few years ago that issued me a System76 laptop. It was ok. Weighed a lot and was made of cheap plastic, and it also had issues with the fan. However, for a Linux laptop with open source hardware and firmware I was ok with putting up with those niggles. Glad to see they are still rolling along.
- nickstinemates 3y agoI have no experience or interest in their laptops, personally. My laptop needs are very different from my compute needs.

- gumballindie 3y agoSounds like a nice place to work at. > the fans are going 100% always Can this not be configured via the bios? I imagine there should be a fan curve setting somewhere in there.
- nickstinemates 3y agoIt's custom firmware and a daemon that controls it. I haven't spent the time to get it configured properly
