Hey system76 folks, I have a question about the design for the current laptops. I am looking to warranty-repair and then sell my currrent HP 17'' because I finally realize how important the portability is to me... and my next choice for laptop will be a system76! I'm debating between the Gazelle and Pangolin. They are both at the same price, so essentially I'm paying for the portability in the smaller Gazelle or the nVidia card in the Pangolin.

However, the pictures in the Gazelle page do not show a top-down view of the laptop. One of the things I really liked about the Pangolin was the brushed metal 'system76' design on the lid. There's no top-down picture to show if a similar design is found on the Gazelle.

Example of these designs on previous model system76 laptops:

I would like to know if the Gazelle has this kind of design on the lid. Thanks for your time, and keep up the great work on everything!

Both the Gazelle and the Pangolin have the brushed metal panel.

Ok cool, thanks so much for the reply. Just wanted to be sure, because on the website there's no indication that such was the design of the Gazelle.

Just talked to the webmaster. He's putting the pics back up. They used to be there.
