Are they built better now? I've bought a lot of stuff from them in the past and while their support is great and their pre-built desktops are fantastic, their laptops were just rebranded Clevo trash.

No, still Clevo. Although the CEO said they are currently designing a custom laptop chassis in house. Probably still a minimum 2 years away, but at least they are working on it.

They don't exclusively use Clevo and they're now leveraging their business relationships to have designs guided by System76 priorities.

There's been no updates on the Virgo project for about a year. I hope they're able to get it to market, but it seems a ways off.

I really wish that System76 would offer a Framework based option... would definitely pay a bit of a premium for Pop OS support on Framework hardware. Those two companies are just screaming for a teamup IMO.

They are not. I have one and the trackpad sucks, and it has a USB C port which charges the laptop EXCEPT when it is fully dead..
