System76 Thelio Major Powered by AMD Ryzen Threadripper 7000 Series Performance

I bought a System76 desktop a couple of years ago with an rtx 3090 for some AI work and have been super happy with it.<p>It was a bit expensive, but everything &quot;just works&quot;, it&#x27;s super well built, and I&#x27;ve had no issues for 2 years. They definitely know what they&#x27;re doing<p>(not affiliated, I just like it)

All developers at our company get one of these delivered as part of their onboarding. They&#x27;re pretty amazing. My only gripe is I re-imaged the machine and getting all of the drivers working and configurable is kind of a pain in the ass (the byproduct being the fans are going 100% always)<p>I treat mine like a server, sitting in a rack. I ssh into it to create ad-hoc test&#x2F;dev environments. It&#x27;s really fast and reliable. Love it. Having 64 cores and 512GB RAM is a treat.

I have a top of the line System76 Laptop collecting dust. Completely broken multi monitor support (yes I tried the support route), it overheats underload, it fails to sleep properly, its extremely heavy and is made out of cheap plastic, and the keyboard well…<p>On the otherhand my Macbook Pro is a superb dev machine.

Purchased a system 76 Galago 2 a couple years ago. The motherboard failed just over one year old. System 76 would not replace or give me a discount on a replacement board. Ended up throwing the thing away and will never buy fron them again.

My work has had some pretty poor experiences with their laptops. 2 different models both have had thermal issues where the computer locks up during basic web browsing, agnostic of the Linux distro.

(Prebuilt) ECC RAM Speeds are always disappointing.

I do like the aesthetics of their cases. They look really cool.

I really like the funnel for the CPU cooler, always wondered why more cases don’t create air barriers between components like that.

it was confusing in the middle to get &quot;DIY Build&quot; in the middle of the benchmarks.<p>does that help the review?

ctrl+f &quot;ecc&quot;: no matches.<p>meh. still a consumer laptop.

The system is $10k, the CPU costs $5K, the rest of components at most $3K, so I guess that means $2K profit on each system?
