I bought a system76, because I didn't want to give MS money. It was janky and broke a year later. It had a lot of problems with the wireless connection dropping.

So I bought a zareason laptop. It was basically the same hardware, it was janky and lasted two years.

So then I splurged on a Thinkpad via LAC Portland, and it's been pretty wonderful. I just wish I could buy them from Lenovo directly.

You can't buy thinkpads loaded with Linux from Lenovo. This is the service LAC Portland provides.

Didn't they recently announce they'd be available with Linux?
