802.11n? It's 2019, for crying out loud, I can understand not having WiFi 6 yet, but this is way too retro... I was looking at a ThinkPad X! Extreme yesterday.

I was looking at a ThinkPad X! Extreme yesterday. Better specs (8th gen Intel CPU, dual M.2 slots, GeForce 1050, 802.11ac of course) for less money. The System76 laptops also look more modern.
- bubblethink 8y agoIt's easily replaceable. They choose it because ath9k works without blobs. You should know what you are buying. Not the wifi card, the ram or the storage. Not even the cool-aid. You are buying a laptop that comes without bootguard enabled and can run coreboot. That's it in a nutshell. system76 is also a decent option since they have also started working on coreboot (https://github.com/system76/coreboot/ https://github.com/system76/coreboot/), and you can hack on it if it interests you. system76's products look more polished since they are clevos made for a wider audience.
