It's taken me a long while to realize, but the high-pitch fan noise on my machine is not the fan itself but the air that's being pushed out. With the galp5 on my lap, I can tilt and move the laptop around and modify that sound. So it's actually something of a whistle noise that is less a problem when on a desk. | |

| 90 | + | ### System76 Hardware support | |
| 91 | + | If you're in the US, I'd say you should be confident that actual defects will be handled by S76, but you'll likely be out of a laptop while they handle it. For example, my first galp5 had a bad Thunderbolt 4 port. Within the first 30 days, I was able to return the machine for a full refund and return shipping covered. S76 was unable to offer me advance or cross shipment of a replacement (or perhaps my addition of a dGPU configuration made that impossible, can't remember) and instead I purchased a replacement (out of pocket), waited for it to arrive, and then returned the old one so that I wasn't without laptop for any length of time. | |
| 92 | + | ||
| 93 | + | Later, the top cover of the chassis (what surrounds the keyboard) developed a crack. I decided to have it repaired at no cost during the 12 month warranty period, but this time I'd be without a laptop for a month or so. I picked up a Frame.work DIY edition with no RAM or storage and just migrated those from my galp5 before I sent the galp5 off for repair. So while S76 took care of these two issues, you should be aware of these details. On the other hand, they are eager to hold your hand through any repairs that can be done by an end user. Supposing you had bad memory or storage, I believe they'd ship those to you rather than you shipping them your machine. Ask S76 directly though, I had so many tickets open before making a purchase. | |
