My experiences with ordering and receiving my computer were excellent. I really appreciated being able to call and speak to a human being the couple times that I had to. The people, the documentation, and the process were all very helpful.

Smooth Experience
The entire process was very easy - from selecting the features of my computer to ordering to following the progress of its build and delivery.
There's fantastic online technical documentation, too.

The laptop fails every time it goes to suspend. Power failing a brand new laptop is the only way to recover. A quick google search reveals this has been a known issue for about a year. I guess quality control is out of the question. To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.

Hello! We've responded to your support case with some suggestions! Nvidia graphics systems sometimes require driver updates or reinstalls, so hopefully that's all taken care of in your support case. We appreciate the feedback.

Great laptop ups shipping sucked you lost a star.
Note, it would be nice to have a charger that uses the 12v port vs USB

AI recommended it as the best, I agree
Here's the updated version:
So Microsoft decided they needed permission to spy on every keystroke across all my screens to use Windows 11. That was the final straw for me - time to switch to Linux. I did what I usually do now and asked my AI which Linux computer to get. Actually, I asked three different AIs, and they all came back with the same answer: System 76.
I was planning to just order one of their pre-configured systems with some upgrades, but the company emailed me back and said I'd be better off with a custom configuration - and save money doing it. So that's what I did.
This computer is an absolute beast. I loaded it up with tons of memory, the fastest chip I could get, two SSD drives and a regular drive for a total of 12 TB of storage. The whole thing came to about $3,000. When I compared it to Windows computers with similar specs - Ryzen 9, 64GB RAM - those were running around $6,000.
The unit itself is attractive, very well built, fairly compact, completely quiet, and crazy fast. Oh, and half the price of comparable Windows machines. Their phone support has been great too. I'm very pleased with this system.
