I second everything phaus said above. This post was typed on a Galago Ultra Pro. The 3rd generation keyboard is "ok" and doesn't bother me, but many other things do (touchpad drivers, battery life, stability, etc). For comparison I used Linux (Gentoo & Ubuntu) for years on a Lenovo T61p and didn't realize how well I had it. For work I use a rMBP (not by choice). Both blow the Galago Ultra Pro out of the water. The single redeeming quality of the Galago Ultra Pro is the horsepower of i7-4750HQ combined with mSATA + 2.5" SSD. I do alot of big builds for embedded devices and the space and horsepower help alot. Unfortunately, everything else is "meh" and the battery life and touchpad are down right disappointing. And System76 does little to support Linux as far as I can tell. The Intel Wireless 7620 had firmware problems System76 up until several weeks ago they weren't even aware of[1], just to gauge their QA process. And what power user machines don't fully support UEFI[2] these days? I've had the machine for less then a month and seriously considering sending it back. :( [1] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2194000 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2194000 [2] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2191909 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2191909
