Should I pre-order this? https://system76.com/laptops/galago

>>59843131
But why?

>>59843110
this is literly the macbook air with different branding.

>>59843247
Supports linux

>>59843265
So does the XPS 13, and it's not sold by an unknown brand.

>>59843247
>3200x1800
>literally the macbook air

fucking kill yourself

>>59843110
They only put Linux on it for gullible Linux users to buy since it comes with Linux preinstalled so it must be good.

It's like you want problems

Yes, I would buy 3; one for yourself, one for your wife's son and one for your gay lover.

I would then buy an apple themed back sticker so you won't disgrace yourself when you're cruising for man bottom in Starbucks.

Now fuck off.

Hello newfriend.

>>59843110
I'm interested but waiting for reviews. I'm primarily concerned about the battery life since there isn't an option to fill the 2.5" slot with extra battery like I thought there would be.

looks neat but isnt system76 known for horrible build quality?

>3200x1800
>TN panel
top kek

>>59847024
is this true?
into the trash then how could they fuck up like this

Price? That's the only thing that matters, otherwise we all would have macbook pros with a different operating system.

>>59846993
They've typically sold spec-focused Clevos in the past with all but one of their laptops being plastic. Now that they're a bit larger they seem to be shifting to more quality devices. Either way "horrible" seems like an exaggeration

>>59847024
Source? I don't see any mention of the panel type which would normally make me assume TN but I've never head of a hiDPI TN laptop panel.

>>59847204
if it was IPS panel they would have surely mentioned it

is it 4k or 3200x1800?

I can vouch for them, posting from a system76 lemur. I added a solid state drive to mine though, once you go SSD you can never go back.

Although it comes with Ubuntu getting any other distro to work is trivial (even distros like Arch for people who enjoy troubleshooting)

>>59847165

The naming scheme switch has been awful in regards to people saying the wrong shit all the time. See also

1280x720 is HD

1920x1080 is FullHD
2560x1440 is QHD
3840x2160 is UHD
4096x2160 is 4K
it isn't that hard to remember
there is no such resolution as 2K or 3K

*TV

>>59847529
I'm aware, but a ton of people incorrectly try to apply the new Xk naming scheme to older resolutions and fuck it up in the process.
>3840x2160 is UHD
>4096x2160 is 4K
Oh god not this again.

>>59847529
Are you simply saying that 3440x1440 doesn't exist because you don't believe in it?

>>59847612
As you can see, he didn't add any 21:9 resolutions in.

>>59847612
3440x1440 is a made up resolution
not a standard one

>>59847688
All resolutions are made up resolutions.

>>59847859

What are competing standards, Not everything needs to be 16:9

>>59843110
Ryzen is the new standard, anon. Anything not Ryzen is obsolete: It's cheap, it performs as good as enthusiast CPUs and it consumes less power.

Software compilation needs a good CPU and that's why you should build your own desktop. However if you HAVE to buy a laptop NOW I guess you could buy it

>>59847424
Not bad, I might get one, but pre ordering is for idiots.

Is this a joke?

Looks like we have System76 shill here again.

Buy from Clevo/Sager, they offer the exact same laptops, without the $200 extra for someone to pre-install Ubuntu for you.

>>59847396
Is BSD a possibility? I'm looking to get a new laptop soon and I would like to have Free/Dragonfly BSD or at least Gentoo.

System76 is unknown? They are the most well known Linux vendors by far.

>pre-order
why would you pre-order anything?

>that huge ass logo on the back
aaaaahhhhhh no

>>59850833
So can we say it's a 13 inch laptop with a 15 inch footprint? How the fuck is sager and clevo still in business?

>>59843247
>actually has Ethernet port

if it is garbage, where can i buy the non chink shit version?

>>59853333
Cheap gaming laptops mostly.

>>59847165
Macbooks have terrible hardware. People only buy them because they are poor.

>Allows 2 hard drives

if only it had a dedicated gpu and a non U series cpu I would buy one.

I bought a laptop from them and it's the best computer I've ever owned other than it being overpriced clevo with a custom bios and a few mods still they have good customer service and you don't have to see a stupid windows key

>>59851772

Yes, but it doesn't change the fact they're selling overpriced Clevo barebones.
Buy directly from Clevo/Sager, or any reseller with good prices, and install Linux yourself.
