Meet the New System76 Laptops

[abuakel]

The keyboard in the Darter Ultra 3 looks smaller when compared to the DarU2 one. Is it a full-sized keyboard, with the only difference in the 'Home' Pg Up' 'Pg Dn' and 'End' keys?

[thomasaaron]

It is the same size keyboard as was on the DarU1 and DarU2.

The Pangolin Performance looks very tempting.

My current Dell is giving up the ghost very quickly so I need a replacement as soon as possible.

I'm wondering if shipments of the Pangolin start on August 15th, would orders placed within the next day or two be shipped on the 15th or is there a backlog of items to go out which would delay orders a few more days?

[thomasaaron]

If you order right now, it should go out on the 15th or 16th.

Sorry for thread Hijack, do you have any youtube reviews of your systems? I like the Koala Mini!

There are a lot of System76 reviews online:

And there are a few System76-related youtube videos, but I don't know of any specific to the Koala.

I thought this was interesting...

But you would probably be better off posting a *new* thread asking about customers' experience with the Koala.

Having just bought a new Serval, I've just lived an instance of the following:

Fact| It is always better to wait two weeks to buy a laptop, since for the same price you'll be able to get the same thing, but much better.

The problem with this empirically demonstrated truth is that, by induction, it leads to:

Theorem| It is never good to buy a laptop.



...they look good.

I'm quite pleased with mygazp3. It is my tentative intent to purchase an open-source PDA/Cell-Phone/GPS unit in ~ one year's time. I'm interested in the OpenMoko project's (http://www.openmoko.com) Neo Free Runner. Given my satisfaction with system76 support and community I would pleased to discover that I could purchase an ubuntu installed system76 supported OS on a Free Runner. Does system76 have any plans to move into this market?

Are there any plans for a laptop that can hold 8 GB of RAM?
