When we at System76 hear “Back to School,” our first reaction is, “We’re already there.”

Or at least our products are – at college campuses across America, everywhere from students’ backpacks to STEM classrooms to top research labs. In fact, over our company’s two-decade history, we’ve supplied Linux computer hardware to 99% of the nation’s Tier 1 research universities. 

Faculty and researchers know that our computers provide the ultimate Linux computing experience: the latest high-powered CPUs and GPUs, generous RAM and storage for heavy data workloads, stunning OLED displays, freedom to customize and repair, and our Pop!_OS and COSMIC desktop experience to complete the Linux ecosystem stack.

These power users also recognize how the System76 Linux platform can enable a smooth transition to Linux from the Windows operating system and eliminate the memory-hogging “bloatware” that accompanies it.

Our advanced-performance laptops, desktops, workstations, and servers are built for the most challenging projects, from AI training, 3D rendering, and engineering simulation to the processing of TBs of data at a time. And let’s not forget the students, whose academic lives are made easier by our laptops’ extended battery life and ultralight portability.

Beyond the computers themselves, college and universities love working with System76 to fulfill their hardware requirements:

• Ease of purchasing: System76 enables a quick turnaround – from initial query to order to delivery – when time is short at the end of the fiscal year, and we’re an approved vendor in most university purchasing systems.
• Unmatched customer support: Free lifetime software support from Linux specialists. Our team knows the hardware and software inside out, providing the highest level of support and care from the start.  
• Close to home: All desktop workstations and keyboards are designed and manufactured at our corporate HQ in Denver.
