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?

    Thank you. RMA procedure is still in progress, but their support is nice and I’m hopeful to get it sorted.

    Interesting. I’ve tried around 5 docks from which only 1 worked correctly. Mostly issues with 4K at 60hz. Other notebooks worked well with the ones the tuxedos struggled.

    I agree, the manual EC/BIOS updates aren’t very nice, but not a show-stopper. Coreboot has been promised for quite some time now and they’re still searching a coreboot dev. Maybe this will be a thing someday, but I don’t think we’ll see that soon reading their responses regarding this on reddit.
