System76 bets on Ubuntu with the Oryx Pro laptop

The Oryx Pro laptop is a laptop with the Ubuntu operating system that comes in many variants that fit all possibilities and pockets. The basic model starts with a 15.6-inch 1080p screen, a processor, i7 6700HQ, 8GB of RAM and a GTX 1060 graphics card. This model costs 1499 dollars but you can choose to improve it, for example, if we opt for a 17.3-inch IPS screen the price rises to 1, 578 dollars, a very small price difference.

Then we can expand the 128GB SSD and add a 1TB hard drive for an additional $ 99 or replace the GTX 1060 with a GTX 1070 for an additional $ 289 if we choose the model with a 17.6-inch screen. In the following link on the System76 site we can see all the possible configurations and the extras that can be included.

Oryx Pro: With backlit keyboard

The Oryx Pro in all its models also comes with a convenient backlit keyboard, especially for use in dimly lit environments.

Among the configurations that we can choose is also the operating system, which can be Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (with extended support) or the latest Ubuntu 16.10. System76 also offers facilities to get this laptop by paying a monthly fee, in the case of the basic model, about 128 dollars a month.
