I also recently bought a Galago Pro, primarily since it was the only reasonably priced laptop I could find with 32GB ram. I'd say overall I'm happy but it's a mixed bag.

Pros: - Gorgeous screen, lightweight, Ubuntu 16 feels snappy. - System76 customer service is amazing. - Sub $2000 machine with 32GB RAM and i7. (Mine was $1850 after shipping & tax.) - Lots of ports! The fold-out ethernet port is especially nice, for those rare times when you need one.

Cons: - I dislike the keyboard layout quite a lot, but I'm hoping I get used to it. The right-hand column of home/end/etc gets hit quite a lot by accident when I'm trying to hit enter, tab, etc. Also, the center of my space bar has a dead spot unless pressed very hard. - Battery life is bad. If you're just browsing, you get maybe 4 hours. Anything intensive will run the battery down in under an hour. I mostly use it at home so this isn't a big problem for me. - As stated above, the touch pad feels unresponsive, esp. if you're used to a macbook pro. Not sure whether this is a hardware or software issue. - They charge you $77 (after shipping & tax) for a second charger. (It also seems to be a nonstandard size, so good luck finding one from an OEM.)
