Nice, looks like a good rig. I haven't heard of System76 before, thanks for pointing them out.<br><br>Miguel, I have had 11 XPSs and have not had a good thing to say about them. They may be very cool looking, the stability and performance were not at all to my liking. I hope your experience has been better.<br>

I've always liked the stuff that System76 makes & figured I'd buy one of their machines officially. However, the big announcement, for me, out of the Ubuntu Developer's Summit was Dell's Project Sputnik- basically, a Dell XPS running Ubuntu 12.04. <div>

<div><br></div><div>A laptop with a developer-focus in mind running a Linux distro is exactly what I've been wanting. Everywhere I go & us dev types congregate, all I ever see are Macs. The fact that it's built on a gamer-class laptop is icing on the cake. :)</div>
