[SGVLUG] New Linux Laptop, Made (assembled?) in US

[Matthew Campbell]

Nice, looks like a good rig.  I haven't heard of System76 before, thanks
for pointing them out.

Miguel, I have had 11 XPSs and have not had a good thing to say about
them.  They may be very cool looking, the stability and performance were
not at all to my liking.  I hope your experience has been better.

Dave, how is she running WoW, Wine, native or other?
