I own one but would probably not buy another unless they refresh their lineup.
It works as advertized; it runs linux...that's about it. The HW is middle/low quality and I'm not sure the premium System76 charges is warranted.
I also own a Thinkpad which is superior to anything System76 offers. Installing linux was trivial, and everything seems to work.
System76 rebrands OEM laptops, but my understanding is that they may be working on an in-house laptop. If so, I would probably give it a look...but for now, I think Thinkpads are a better deal.
Which thinkpad do you recommend? I considered an X1C or another from the T series, but the superfish scandal and other issues had me considering other laptops.
