You mean like the Serval? Or the Gazelle, if you want a slimmer version of the same thing? Both have upgradeable RAM, lots of non USB-C ports, and replaceable batteries. Both are quite handy systems.

Yes, the Serval and Gazelle with a modern Thelio look. They really looked dated as they are.

  Serval is very dated, but the Gazelle is darn "close" to a nice modern look & feel... for a Linux laptop it's about as close to MBA as you're gonna get. But overall I'd agree an "across the board" update would be most welcome. S76 makes great hardware and their design aesthetics have been steadily improving, I'd keep an eye out here, don't discount them.

    This is the Gazelle you are talking about? https://system76.com/laptops/gazelle https://system76.com/laptops/gazelle With the circa-2009 Acer plastic look? Big plastic air fins, feet that stick out the bottom to stop it sliding into t bad properly, huge (huge) bezel around the screen? The Oryx looks much more modern - are you sure you aren't talking about that? https://system76.com/laptops/oryx https://system76.com/laptops/oryx

      I think they must have rev’d the Oryx (or I forgot) but yeah, that’s the more modern looking model.

Thanks for mentioning those. The Kudu is pretty nice too: https://system76.com/laptops/kudu https://system76.com/laptops/kudu

  Ick. Looks like the $199 HP laptop I bought at an office supply store on Black Friday a few years back. Every laptop either looks like this, or a MacBook clone. I'll buy one anyway, simply because it's supposed to be made in America. But I can't find anywhere on the web site where they're made.

    Currently they laptops are based on clevo devices with lots of work added on top. But they stated that laptops will be the next step after desktops. Just don't hold your breath as it gets a lot harder at that form factor

You mean a pre-2015 Thinkpad?

The Galage Pro, is that really that expandable and that light. i7, 32GB ram, 6TB SSD. Found the compromise, the battery is tiny.
