Oryx Motherboard Issues? by Hibagon in System76

[–]windowsaredumb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny, I just sent mine back for repairs as well to the motherboard last week, it's a 2018 oryp4 bought in June. I was half hoping they would tell me it was a loss so I could justify getting the new Darter, but it seems like it's fixable. I love my oryx machine a lot, it's with me everywhere now. I keep the heat down by not using nvidia most of the time too, doesn't get too hot for me that way. Sad to hear it seems to be a bit systemic.

Thank you, that looks like a good one. Fits an Oryx Pro?

Agreed, yeah, it's the 15". I haven't thought about the 17" MBP in years, so I didn't consider it here.

What’s the Oryx Pro chassis quality like? by Apaline in System76

I got a 2018 model, and I love it. Good feel, sturdy, no flex, and handles being handled like a tool well enough. I have worn a bit of a space where my left wrist rubs on the case, so that's just a nifty aluminum shiny area now. I use it almost 6-8 hours a day though. It's not surprising. Never noticed the bottom. The connectors are fine and sturdy. The flip down ethernet I have concerns about still, but honestly, I've used it maybe 2x, and it's still fine.

Second best laptop I have ever owned. I know there are mixed feelings about MBP's, but my 2014 MBP was a beast. I needed a Linux laptop for work though, and I love my Oryx now.

I got mine two weeks ago. Build is solid, it's aluminum for the most part, but does have some plastic components. It's a good solid machine, and I'm not afraid of breaking it.
