I know they have a keyboard configurator but that isn't a replacement for an ISO layout though. Also I came across the thread in the past which you linked, where System76 debunks these assumptions. And I totally agree that a lot of work goes into this. But until now I have not actually seen any difference in chipsets? Custom firmware and branded Bios yes, and a lot of hours goes into verifying these things which I'm happy to pay for. But there is afaik no difference in the chips. You can also re-use the firmware / coreboot (e.g. from s76-DARP9 on a clevo-NS50AU) without issues. This is an annoying amount of effort though and I would rather get this from system76 if they sold it with ISO keyboard than having to do it myself.

> But until now I have not actually seen any difference in chipsets? System76 is not Apple. I don't know why you'd expect them to have a wholly new chip set. Maybe you can flash a given Clevo with the "equivalent" system76 firmware. Maybe you can't. I don't think you're going to get support from either if you do that, though. You can ask them about it; they're pretty great about responding honestly.

  > System76 is not Apple. I don't know why you'd expect them to have a wholly new chip set. I absolutely don't :) I'm replying to this statement which I think isn't correct: > it might look the same and seem to have the same specs, but Clevo might have put in some chip without linux drivers.
