System76 Galago Pro [video]

I am trying to get some server units ordered from them for an upcoming test deployment for a new architecture we are working on and hope I can get buy in from the company to support someone other than dell or hp.

You mean the ethernet port that will break off and the power button that is not recessed so it does not power on in your bag. Great. Who puts a power button on the side of a laptop?

Don't all 'ultrabooks' ship without an ethernet port nowadays?

No. Thinkpad X1 Carbon definitely has an ethernet port.

Other than that power button on the side, that laptop looks pretty interesting as a Macbook air replacement. Here's hoping maybe it's not a power button, that it's a hard power shutoff for camera/mic peripherals.

Is this something new or is it another rebranded Clevo? The Galago Ultrapro they released a couple of years ago had amazing specs, but the keyboard had a design flaw they refused to fix properly.

Some Clevos are OK, but many of them have design defects and/or poor QC.
