Nevertheless, still a high quality great machine. :D

What is wrong with Libreoffice? You can set it to save to Microsoft Office formats. Presentation has been a little problematic for me sometimes.

I think my wife's Ratel originated in Tiawan. It didn't look like the box had been opened although I can't imagine that there wasn't System 76 customizing done here in the US. There is the Ubuntu OS...

Just got a beautiful Ratel and everything is great.... except for this one little quirk. When watching videos the screen blacks suddenly after 10 minutes. Touch a key and it's back for another 10...

All data is quite well backed up. I think it could have been heat or the HD.I couldn't find any sensor problems so I reinstalled the OS with new formatting and nothing undue has happened ........ yet.

I have been running MINT version Maya on my Star1 since Maya came out. It has worked rock solid until 2 days ago. All of a sudden it shut down and when booting it would shut down within seconds....
