Did you take a look at these? https://system76.com/laptops/darter https://system76.com/laptops/darter https://system76.com/laptops/galago https://system76.com/laptops/galago I have one of the chunkier ones. The roominess of its insides make me happy whenever I open it up (e.g. to clean it up).

I love System76 and used to own one of their desktops, but this just looks awful: https://artoo.system76.com/assets/products/darp6/keyboard-on-1ae6cee302_1280.webp https://artoo.system76.com/assets/products/darp6/keyboard-on... Thankfully the Thelio is absolutely beautiful, so I still have high hopes for their in-house designs.

  Beauty is subjective. And luckily, that's not really a perspective you're often to encounter when using a laptop in the real world. IMO, the XPS laptops don't really look a ton different when viewed from that angle.

It seems the Darter Pro has the same keyboard as my Clevo PA70ES. Same layout, same hotkeys on the numpad. Any way to confirm that it's the same model? My keyboard's USB data: idVendor 0x048d Integrated Technology Express, Inc. idProduct 0x8910 bcdDevice 0.01 iManufacturer 1 ITE Tech. Inc. iProduct 2 ITE Device(829x) I'm asking because I wrote a user space driver for the keyboard LEDs. If it's the same model, maybe they'd be interested in taking a look at it: https://github.com/matheusmoreira/ite-829x https://github.com/matheusmoreira/ite-829x I found a WMI driver in their repositories but it doesn't match the way my keyboard works: https://github.com/pop-os/system76-dkms/blob/master/system76_kb-led.c https://github.com/pop-os/system76-dkms/blob/master/system76...

Recently I was looking at their laptops, but with a resolution of only 1920x1080, unless I wanted to buy one of the thicker laptops, was a deal breaker. Perhaps once they start making their own they will bump up the resolution, but until then I will wait.
