I always wanted to take a system76 laptop, what stopped my so far is the price, they are a bit more expensive for similar hardware than other brands.

Do the extra money go to a better construction quality and material? Right now i'm using an asus and i'm a little depressed about the general durability. The one i was using before break after no more than 3.5 year, but i started having problem during the first year of use. I think i need something a little more "rugged".

My usual price tag is 500€, but i will pay more for a more robust laptop.
