Last time there was a System76 laptop announcement on HN I said I was going to be in the market for a new laptop in the coming year but wouldn't consider a System76 laptop because of the giant logo on the lid. Some people said the logos on their System76 laptops were stickers which could be removed. I contacted System76 and was told that was no longer the case.
If anyone from System76 is here, I am currently looking for a new laptop and will not be buying a System76 laptop based entirely upon the giant logo on them. I don't want to put a skin, a cover or stickers over my laptop. My preference would be no logo at all but that seems to be impossible. If you are compelled to use me for free advertising post purchase, at least make it somewhat discreet.

- msla 4y agoOn my Darter Pro 8 (recentish, not top-of-the-line) laptop, the branding on the lid isn't one sticker, it's a sticker per character, which I could likely remove and leave smooth black metal. This Reddit thread seems to agree with me that the stickers can be removed, albeit about a different model: https://old.reddit.com/r/System76/comments/ge0mqz/lemur_pro_lid_logo/ https://old.reddit.com/r/System76/comments/ge0mqz/lemur_pro_... Looks like it has the same kind of lettering as mine, though.
- tssva 4y agoWhen I contacted System76 sales last year after others posted their logo was stickers they told me their logo was no longer stickers. Maybe that is only on the upper range but the upper range is what I am interested in.
- emaro 4y agoI think the Purism laptops have no branding, if that is a priority for you.
