this one looks terrific! I saw the review made by Linus : [VIDEO] - totally got me convinced. I left Apple to System76 2 years ago, but that'd likely be my choice if I'd be doing this today...

Same! The LTT review also mentioned the screen resolution as a problem, so that might be a nice upgrade in the future. FWIW, the rest of the review was really glowing. [VIDEO]
