I've got a recently purchased System 76 Gazelle. I'd like to say nice things about it. It has good system software, and not a bad display. That's about it. The case build quality is way below what it needs to be at the price point, and the touchpad is probably the flimsiest thing I've ever seen on a laptop. The keyboard is also horrible. I would not purchase another one. Instead I would go for a Thinkpad or a Dell and deal with the system setup myself. So while I appreciate the creativity of this campaign, I'd really rather they put their efforts into building a machine that can actually compete on quality.
