Amen. Not only do they make hardware in the US (though not laptops yet), they contribute great Linux software.

Just from the pictures you can tell it doesn't feel like a MacBook's unibody.

Many outside of the US would consider that a con today.

I'd love to hear people compare their system76 laptop to a Macbook, but it's really hard to find recommendations that don't just grade their non-Macbook on a curve just because it's not one.

Edit: Way too many issues on r/system76.
