| I have been (and still am) using a Pangolin Performance for a few years. I like: - All versions of Debian and Ubuntu work flawlessly (no pre-purchase research necessary) - Sturdy (knock on wood) - Easy to take apart (for cleaning or upgrades) - Nice screen - Keyboard with numeric keypad I dislike: - Very rarely (once in a month[1]), the touchpad acquires consciousness. I am neutral: - It's not silent but I did not expect silence when I purchased it with the latest i7 at the time. ----- The Gazelle looks very much like what I have. I like it :) The price is fair too. Btw, I didn't know it came with a Matte option. ----- Disclaimer: I'm a happy (would-be repeat) customer and have no ties to system76. ----- [1] I contacted system76 support and they told me that either they could send me a replacement touchpad (to replace it myself) or I could ship it back to them for repairs under warranty. I decided not to bother with either. |
