System76 Gazelle Professional

[jpenguin]

Hi all, first post here; but I have been reading these forums for a while. My Early-2008 macbook will need to be retired soon; and in my next one, I would like a matte screen, removable battery, and great support forr dualbooting with linux.

The GTX 460M appears to be supported

I'm not sure about WIFI

 

 

This makes the 460M look challenging
