Galago Ultrapro for UWyo CoSci

Hiya, I'm an incoming student to the University of Wyoming. I'm excited to start studying computer science near the biggest research facility in my state, the National Center for Atmospheric Research. I hope to be able to learn lots about massive data and especially about Linux.

I currently use a surplus Latitude E6510 from my college book store. It runs okay, but it would mean the world to me if I could use System76's new Galago Ultrapro when I get to UWyo this summer.

The funding cut is 5%, and the laptop itself totaled $1844.  I used a 3 year warrenty, 1TB SSD drive, 8GB ram, and Ubuntu 14.10. In all honesty, I could probably use a lower end hard drive/ssd.
