Definitely! I love System76 - but it might not be for everybody, since Lenovo might be a bit more accessible for people (yet). I personally did not like the System76 Serval you are mentioning because of two issues:

* I wanted a Ryzen 4000 series

* Absolutely no Nvidia

I understand everything you are saying, but I would have gone for a Dell G5 15 SE 5505 (Eclipse Black, Ryzen 7 4800H) or the MSI Alpha 17 A4DEK-009 (0017FK-009), which both have better specs as well as a dedicated AMD RX 5600M GPU.

Generally I hope that System76 ups their team red notebooks, as I would love to send people their way. I really want to support smaller companies such as System76, https://retrofreedom.com, https://store.vikings.net and https://www.tuxedocomputers.com.
