I see this is your first comment. You're getting off to a great start, because I can't tell you how awesomely helpful that link is. Back in December I went on a quest to find the perfect laptop. I often do embedded stuff that takes me outside. That, and sometimes I just look outside and say "wait, why am I in here again? Park!"

I wanted something with good Linux support that could run a VM or two, have a long battery life, and be readable outdoors. I spent an embarrassing number of hours looking. In the end it came down to the Samsung Series 9 or the 13" rMBP. The rMBP despite its glossiness is mostly readable outdoors on full brightness, and I liked its ergonomics better.

Do you by any chance work for system76? If not, do you at least own one of their laptops? Can you speak to build quality, battery life, sunlight readability, or keyboard ergonomics?
