System76 Galago UltraPro Haswell Ultrabook Review - Phoronix

phoronix.com

The System76 Galago UltraPro impresses with its Intel Core i7 Haswell processor and Iris Pro graphics, making it a powerful choice for Linux enthusiasts. The lightweight design and matte IPS display are commendable, though the ultrabook's non-configurable hardware could be a limitation for some users. Unfortunately, the keyboard's inconsistent keystroke registration mars the experience, and the unresolved real-time battery power information issue is a drawback. The unexpected fan behavior with Manjaro Linux also raises concerns about system stability under different Linux distributions. Overall, while the Galago UltraPro is a solid performer, these quirks and limitations prevent it from achieving greatness.

Troy Pavlek: System76 Galago UltraPro Review

tpavlek.me

The System76 Galago UltraPro, despite its promising specs and affordable pricing, falls short in execution. While the design is sleek and the display stunning, the hardware feels fragile, and the keyboard is a significant letdown, with unreliable key registration making it unsuitable for heavy typists. The trackpad also suffers from software issues, detracting from user experience. Portability is marred by weight and battery life is average. Support from System76 disappoints, with inadequate handling of defects and costly shipping. Overall, the Galago UltraPro is a frustrating experience, making it a poor choice for Linux users seeking reliability. Avoid.
