System76 or Framework laptop?
System76 or Framework laptop?
Look, we know System76 laptops are based as fuck. I mean, Coreboot, Open source firmware, PopOS, and a fucking open source mobo in the works, just so fucking based.
But man, these framework laptops look cool too. Completely modular and easy to work on. Looks like the company has proved it isn't going to go under anytime soon.
I'm debating what to get once I feel like upgrading from the trusty ol ThinkPad. What would you buy?
You're viewing a single thread.
Virgo will have features which can't be found from Framework:
- Trackpoint
- Open Source Bios
- Hot swappable mechanical keys
- full sized up and down arrow keys (not splitted in half)
- Motherboard is designed and most likely manufactured too in Colorado, US
The motherboard itself is also open-source: https://github.com/system76/virgo/

If they can also set the production line in the US, it'll be a fresh wind of change in the electeonics manufacturing since 1980's, when everyhthing was send to Asia.

They haven't announced anything on that matter so far. I bet you don't realize how big logistical and economical push a pcb-production line for even just 25cm x 15 cm boards would be.
