I have used SuperDuper for cloning and booting from an ext HD on an older Macbook. The free version should do what you want.
The paid version allows for updating the cloned copy.

Compare the specs on these two. There a number of reasons for the price difference.
-Display resolution
-Processors
-Ports
-Drive option
-Weight

Even with a statement saying it's OK, I usually hold out until near the end of support for a current release. This gives me
time run the live version a lot to test it on my computer before upgrading.

I have Software & Updates set to "Notify Me of New Ubuntu Version". 14.04 now shows as of this morning.
They are also shipping their new computers with 14.04 installed.
You could also try a live...

I bought a Lemur 4 (Oct,2012). The fan started to get noisy about 5 months later - contacted Sys76 and a new fan was sent right out.
Last week I had several questions about an accessory I was...

OK, thanks.

Thanks, I'm aware of that, see my earlier post (#4). That doesn't explain why removing the DVD ($55 accessory) drive from the configuration and
replacing it with the Caddy ($49 accessory) results...

Sorry, I'm still confused.
When configuring the Gazelle Pro, in the Optical Drive section the default is:

8X DVD±R/RW/4X +DL Super-Multi Drive

If you select:

Caddy Case without Hard Drive...

Good question.
This is from my Lemur Ultra accessories page:

Lemur Ultra (lemu4) Caddy Case ( + $49 )
Lemur Ultra (lemu4) DVD-RW Optical Drive ( + $55 )

(Galago) If you select the 120 Intel ssd in place of the stock 500 hdd, the price rises by $165 (ssd is more expensive than standard hdd).
The prices of the other drives change relative to the...

I asked about USB 3.0 after seeing what appeared to be a similar offering from ZaReason (Zima 930) that has three USB 3 ports and two USB 2 ports.
The answer from System76 was no USB 3.

I'd...

The fan noise on my Lemur Ultra returned a few weeks ago. After reopening my support ticket, a new fan was shipped under warranty.

Replacement on mine was very easy - the fan is attached to a...

I'm not sure about the PanP7, but I ordered a second power adapter from System76 by logging into my account, then clicked on "order accessories" below the image of my Lemur.

If you don't have an...

Perhaps I misunderstood what you meant by support.
Simply trying to help with your problem - calling me "dishonest" is not productive.

These are issues common to all computers, whether Windows, Mac or Linux. If you felt you were being being "forced" to use Ubuntu, why did you make the purchase?

Why is running a "modern" linux kernel a problem?

You weren't forced into Ubuntu, another vendor offers a similar product with a choice of different Linux versions. You can replace Ubuntu with...

It can be done. I've tested quite a few programs before deciding to upgrade to new versions of Ubuntu. Doesn't always work.

I recall trying to test my Epson scanner while using a live CD. Despite installing the packages listed in reply #5, it wouldn't work. After installing to my HD & installing the Epson pkgs, the...

Yes, the System76 page shows a total of 6 USB 2 ports for the Sable.

The cases appear to be the same form the online images. The Sable offers a larger solid state drive as an option.

I asked...

Thanks for the quick response, although answer above doesn't explain whether it is for technical reasons or production cost.

I recently bought a Lemur and am very happy with it. I may be replacing my old desktop computer soon and have several questions about the Sable.

1. Can a second hard drive be installed instead of...

It works on my new Lemur, sensitivity set to max.

I think he's referring to the current Lemur. I've had one for about a month and highly recommend it.
