I just ordered the Darter Pro Gen 9, with the i7 and 3-year warranty support. I read countless reviews, all the bad and all the good, and I looked at several different laptop brands and the different ultraportables that System76 offers. I decided on the Darter Pro; it ticks all of the boxes I would want in a laptop.

The extended warranty is expensive, but it is worth it to me. Every computer I have bought, I have always bought an extended warranty, and I have had to use it in some capacity. I'm going to be using it as my daily driver; this will include progamming and cybersecurity-related stuff that I work on. I'm super excited to join the System76 club!

I looked at the Thinkpad series as well. Thinkpad sells a Ubuntu X1 carbon. It was really hard not to go with that laptop. But ultimately, I wanted coreboot support and System76 support.
