That being said, I'm not so sure about getting the W740U. I guess it's a rather well-balanced laptop (between the two extremes of being an all-out desktop replacement and an ultraportable).
But I would actually rather make up my mind first, about whether I want to remain "plugged in" all the time, or have the freedom to spend my day in a library of coffee shop. (I haven't decided on this yet.)
Not really a problem for me, one charge's been lasting fine for a full day of random usage, and just in case there's always a socket nearby. Probably not representative for everybody but for me it's enough.
I use it really as a mobile workstation rather than an ultrabook, so for me power > battery.
You can get the Clevo W740SU / Galago UltraPro on avadirect.com as well, but it's actually more expensive there (about $200 more than system76): https://www.avadirect.com/custom-laptop-configurator.asp?PRI...
