Questions on the system76 Laptops. (Hardware)

[einnar]

Are any of the following implimented, or is there a plan to add these features :

- e-Sata connection
- lightscribe or similar technology
- any kind of docking station option


Thanks!

I've not heard anything from R&D on these. You should send an email to us, and we'll pass those on to R&D. They keep a running tally of customer interests to guide future development.

YES!!! I want LIGHTSCRIBE DRIVES!!!

[thomasaaron]

Noted. :lolflag:

Lightscribe drives would be nice to have. An eSATA connection would be nice as well.

we are allowed to install a light scribe drive in our system76 computers without losing our warranty, right?

absolutely. we encourage playing with your computer :-). We'll take a closer look at lightscribe drives too - cool technology. I can't help but to think the CD/DVD drive may be a dying device though. At least in laptops.

Yeah I would definitely like to see a LiteScribe drive in a machine with Linux pre-installed.

I'd be interested in a docking station (my next computer will 99% be a System 76) - any thoughts on that?

For those interested in Lightscribe, Lacie make external Lightscribe drives - I have one which I will be plugging in my new computer when I finally get it...

(my next computer will 99% be a System 76)

What brand will the other 1% be?

[Jozza The Wick]

The remaining 1% will be a XP virtual machine under Virtualbox for MS Money.

Smartarse :)

So literal!
That was pretty good. :lolflag:

I am more interested in blue ray drives being an option. :KS
