Interesting - I'm the reverse. I was just mandated with a "thou shalt" a System76 (Galaga UltraPro) by a client. I really, really wasn't looking forward to it.

Now, there are a bunch of things I hate like the trackpad size/position, and cheap plastic exterior... but other than that I've been shocked at how well it's performing. I've typed a few rather long reports on it getting great key rates in both LibreOffice and Office (under Wine). Now that being said, the trackpad is truly awful. My dream would be to replace that sucker with the placement on "Darter Ultrathin". That one looks like it has great placement.
