Bought a Linux laptop from them and came very well tested. Could play movies, video and Warcraft out of the box. Never had an issue. Solid as a rock!

These companies are the hallmarks for keeping Linux viable in a world where a lot of people lack a decent sized attention span. LoL! I like System76’s designs and hardware, and I’m still on the fence as to whether I should go for one of their high-end models or the middle-of-the-road offerings. I’m also in the market for a desktop and they seem to have all the bases covered there as well.

There is one more option for Linux laptops. The guys at https://puri.sm have a 13″ and a 15″ models. The hardware that is included in these laptops is only that for which open source drivers and firmwares are available. They also have their own distribution, called PureOS, which is based on Debian.
