A repeat purchase. The previous products have been 100% reliable, and I am pleased to support POP-OS and the system 76 team. Excellent product, delivered on time. Helpful comms from people who care about customers.

When I noted that a different system suited my needs better very soon after my initial system order, Customer Service promptly responded to my request to cancel my original order and allowed me to place a new order for the other system. Then that system was shipped and arrived within a week. Incredibly timely!

So far, I'm enjoying the computer I purchased, and my overall experience with System76 was seamless and quick. I like what they stand for and what they are doing. That said, while I appreciate Pop!_OS, I still lean toward Zorin OS for its overall feel and usability. However, I’m happy to keep Pop!_OS installed—it works well for most of my needs and I like the Spotlight type feature--that's the main reason I'm keeping it on. The main downside is the Pop!_Shop, which feels slow and glitchy at first, though it does seem to stabilize after repeated use. It’s a minor but noticeable quirk. For everything except audio recording, this setup excels. I’m thrilled to have moved away from the Apple and Microsoft ecosystems, but it's unfortunate I can't record. While the system can run audio software just fine, the fan kicks in frequently, making it impractical for recording. Given the price point, it’s a bit of a missed opportunity, but since I didn’t buy it specifically for that purpose, it’s not a dealbreaker. And, mixing works perfectly well.

I always get the best service from the System76 team. The laptops they build have their dedication and loyalty built with them. I have been a System76 customer for 4 years now and own 4 of their systems. I also have no problem recommending them and supporting them.

The last desktop computer I purchased was a System 76 Wild Dog Pro from 2017 and from the onset I was extremely disappointed with the horrific noise the fans put out when I was doing nothing on it. So I had my concerns about buying the Thelio. But I was quite pleased to discover that my new Thelio made no noticeable noise in its quiescent state. After putting up with the horrible noise from the previous System 76 desktop for all these years it is a pure joy to be able to work in my office in something approaching silence. I am a computational physicist so at some point I'm going to test out the GPU and the computational abilities of the Thelio but by far the most important thing about any computer for me is the noise it puts out and so far I am quite happy with the Thelio.

Quick, efficient, got what I needed. Always a fan of System76!

Great specs, hardware, software, size, speed, Pop OS. Makes for a great computing experience.

I have been using my System76 Pangolin (32GB of RAM) for a bit over a week now and have been extremely happy with the experience. Due to the direction MS has gone I was ready to make a big change in my computing experience. After doing some homework I was most impressed with System76's right to repair and attention to privacy. I wasn't very sure what I would encounter with POP! OS going into it, but it has exceeded my expectations. The computer itself is plenty fast enough for what I have thrown at it (not a gamer, but do like to be able to edit video). Build quality seems totally solid. And the shopping experience was right on the money. Very happy with my decision and System76.
