I'd love to hear people compare their system76 laptop to a Macbook, but it's really hard to find recommendations that don't just grade their non-Macbook on a curve just because it's not one.
Edit: Way too many issues on r/system76.
Amen. Not only do they make hardware in the US (though not laptops yet), they contribute great Linux software.
Just from the pictures you can tell it doesn't feel like a MacBook's unibody.
