I wonder how far down the stack they plan to go with manufacturing their own designs. In the past, System76 was largely just rebadged Clevos with software/firmware updates. I wonder if the systems going into their new chassis will be sourced similarly, of if they'll have any spiffy added features.
- cepth 9y agoSee this blog post from the company: http://blog.system76.com/post/159767214983/entering-phase-three http://blog.system76.com/post/159767214983/entering-phase-th.... If they’re to be believed, they plan to start manufacturing their own original chassis designs. Their Galago Pro laptop, their first “original” laptop, is apparently still based off of a Chinese shell. But, they claim they worked with the manufacturer to implement their wishlist. They also released Pop!OS last year, which seems to just be a Ubuntu reskin. It does look nice though, and they have hired dedicated staff to develop it.
- solarkraft 9y agoThey are expanding physically (good sign) and also funding some neat OSS projects & keeping the ME in check.
- chendragon 9y agoJust kind of hoping they can get the look&feel and most importantly the thermals right on this one. If you go on notebookcheck you can see that every single thin machine that comes out has throttling problems and insufficient sizing of cooling parts, and Apple manages to dissipate 2x the heat in the same thin chassis.
