46 + My goal was to best my 2015 rMBP dGPU with an iGPU build and aside from the lack of VRAM (and support from DaVinci Resolve for Intel iGPU), it's a success. With the dGPU, it's a blow out. Simply put, it performs well in comparison to all computers and performs excellently when compared to thin and light laptops.

1 - ### Builds tested
1 + ## Context
2 + - I received my first galp5 (iGPU) about 30 days ago; replacement galp5 (dGPU) arrived yesterday (defective thunderbolt port on first)
3 + - I don't use my laptop as a daily driver as I'm working from home and I have a desktop workstation (HP Z840)
4 + - Been a Linux desktop (Pop!_OS) user for about 100 days, migrated from macOS (10.5 - 10.14), have lightly managed linux servers for ~10 years
5 + - Previous laptops:
6 + - 2007 15" MBP
7 + - 2011 15" MBP
8 + - 2010 17" MBP
9 + - 2011 17" MBP
10 + - 2014 15" rMBP dGPU
11 + - 2015 15" rMBP dGPU
12 + - Galp5 was purchased primarily for software engineering for the web (docker containerization and JavaScript bundling)
13 + - Secondarily, this machine should be a light media workstation for the field (photo and video media management) as well as docked in an office (photo editing and video post-production)
14 + - Other machines passed up for the galp5:
15 + - Apple 2020 M1 13" MBP
16 + - Apple 2019 16" MBP
17 + - System76 Lemur Pro (lemp10)

Questions answered sufficiently, problems either solved or clarified and my first galp5 return accepted painlessly. Additionally, my interactions with engineers on [chat](https://chat.pop-os.org/) and [GitHub](https://github.com/system76) have been fantastic. I've never touched Rust (language), but there's a [channel on chat just for learning Rust](https://chat.pop-os.org/community/channels/rust) and with a [couple of pointers](https://chat.pop-os.org/community/channels/rust/tz8j33pjainsiquxiszzsey3ba) I was able to [submit a pull request](https://github.com/pop-os/system76-power/pull/212)

36 42 ### Cons
37 43 1. Battery life
44 + While I haven't tested this thoroughly, looks like 3-4 hours of casual browser use.
45 + 1. Standyby drain
46 + When in standby (clamshell shut), expect ~2%/hour or about 48 hours of total standby time. I'll look into implementing hiberation myself if it becomes a bother. System76 recommends shutting down rather than standby, doesn't sound like they're working on improving standby time.
38 47 1. Screen resolution and quality
48 + 16:9 1080p and sRGB gamut :/ Not a deal breaker thus far.
39 49 1. Speaker volume & quality
50 + Truly, the low point of this package. Doesn't matter much to me thankfully.
40 51 1. Trackpad
52 + It's a touch sticky and the clicking becomes "harder" towards the top of the trackpad. I've adjusted by now, but I wasn't sure that I would.
41 53 1. Fan noise (pitch/timbre)
42 - While I've updated firmware to make the fan curve and smoothness of adjustment to my liking, it's true that the fan noise is a bit high-pitched.

43 55 1. USB headset bug (upstream pulseaudio)
44 - If you're USB headset isn't properly recognized, you can run `systemctl --user restart pulseaudio` after plugging in
