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?
Virgo will have features which can’t be found from Framework:
Why should you care the motherboard is designed in Colorado???
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.
If? so they dont? so they do like everybody else basically…
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.
Well until they do no point in using it as a selling point…

The motherboard itself is also open-source: https://github.com/system76/virgo/
