I see that they're releasing a new laptop: https://system76.com/laptops/galago This is probably the first laptop from them that I could consider buying, judging solely on that small picture of it. Still super-thick, and I don't know if I would feel comfortable buying that over the XPS, but at least it's got HiDPI, which for the price they sell their laptops for I feel should be included.
Ordered a 1U from them. Going on a month now with no delivery date yet and no indications there would be a problem until after we ordered. Not a big deal for us, we can wait and ordered it because it was cheap, but consider yourselves warned.
I got Lemur 14" laptop a while back and absolutely hated the build quality. The keyboard is terrible and the screen has the worst viewing angles of any laptop I've ever owned. I got tired of it after 4 or 5 months and converted it to a home server and it's been super reliable in that mode since 2014. AND it also has the benefit of staying online during power outages.
My computer shipped with a screw loose inside the case which shorted the motherboard a few times. It didn't cause any permanent damage but it was a little disappointing. I chalked it up to a freak shipping accident knocking something loose but idk. The case design and actual computer specs have been great though.
I'd still recommend their laptops if you need a good computer on a budget :)

When I got my current monitor I noticed it had a dead (on) bright red pixel. I was originally extremely upset with this and it was super distracting, but then 2 days later I didn't notice it anymore, and now I can't even remember where it is. That was like 3+ years ago I think.
The wavelength most noticeable to the human eye is yellow-green - I wonder if we're less apt to notice depending on wavelength?
Sadly these gen-1 ThunderX cores are pretty poor in performance and not particularly power-efficient either. Cache performance is especially sucky. https://www.servethehome.com/exclusive-first-cavium-thunderx... http://www.anandtech.com/show/10353/investigating-cavium-thu... I hope that this is just a rebranded system showing the redyness of System76 and raising awareness about such products so that they're better po…
So many product lines for such a small company. Laptops, Desktops, Servers. Not even Apple is able to effectively manage this many different products. I don't know much about them, but from my first impression it looks like a company with lack of focus. I'm not sure how they will be able to create killer product in any of the segments they're trying to compete in. Based on my above observation (admittedly superficial…
Note that they're primarily rebadging existing products, while apple is far more involved in the design and manufacture of new products. Also note that their niche is shipping Linux preinstalled devices. If they did have a killer mass consumer product, they'd have a difficult time coping with consumers expecting and demanding windows on PCs.
This is a Gigabyte server, probably one of the following: http://b2b.gigabyte.com/Rack-Server/R150-T61-rev-110 http://b2b.gigabyte.com/Rack-Server/R150-T62-rev-100 What value-add does System76 provide?
The ability to actually buy it? I'm not joking; most ODM equipment is a hassle to buy, especially in small quantities for POCs.
Now if only the Qualcomm Falkor was available to buy ...
