WIRED Powerful AMD-based system. 32 GB of RAM. Nice keyboard. Excellent selection of ports. Pop!_OS is great for Linux newbies and experts alike TIRED Number pad makes keyboard off-center. No 4K display option. No Thunderbolt support. 📷: System76

all sell excellent Linux-based hardware. Time-travel back to 2012 to shout the good news and you'll have trouble convincing even the Linux faithful that the future is even brighter than they're dreaming.

The 16-terabyte model does not come cheap. The base Pangolin is a reasonable $1,299, which gets you a single 250-gigabyte SSD . Fully decked out at 16 terabytes, you're looking at $4,213. Most people don't need that much storage, but I especially like having two drive slots, which gives you the flexibility to upgrade down the road.

The size makes the Pangolin on the heavy side at just shy of 4 pounds. That's not overly heavy for a 15-inch laptop, but it definitely feels large coming from a 2.5-pound 13-inch laptop. The build quality is great. It's not quite ThinkPad-level great, but it's as close as you're going to get without buying a ThinkPad.
