Thanks for the update! I'm really leaning toward System76, what with the Dell shortages and all. Sounds great! Thanks for the update!

The camera does work well in Ekiga and Cheese(I installed from getdeb.net. The fingerprint reader does not work ATM, but they are working on getting it working so you can use it vs password entry for admin tasks. I own a Darter as well.

So its not System76's fault that the speakers suck. There is no alternative. As Asus has pretty much discontinued their small laptop barebones. The darter is based on an MSI barebone.

Just curious, as I've been considering ordering a Darter too, but does that mean it didn't come with a 'standard' Ubuntu install? Was it customized in some way?

I want system76 to sell those machines here in Turkey too. I'm stuck with self built desktop computers because there are no decent mobile options on the market here. The machines that comes with linux are only the low end models too heavy to carry around and no support. I'd prefer ordering on the web if they ship to my country. Hello,

Bose makes some very impressive tiny speakers. I can't see any reason that technology can't be employed on laptops. If we are expected to use headphones or our own speakers, why bother putting any speakers in at all? Why torture us with crap? I wonder why it is that laptop speakers always suck.

Mmm, four hours of battery life... What's the battery capacity in Wh? The fingerprint scanner is something that you can get used to very quickly, especially if you use sudo often. Sounds nice.
