Today I saw someone once again trash System76 for rebranding Clevo machines and writing that off as some kind of deceptive business model. Ultimately, they’re not “just rebranded Clevo…”, but even if they were, the ignorant douchebag posting this misguided rant fails to acknowledge that EVERY SINGLE LAPTOP OEM does the same. Yes, HP, Dell, Lenovo - fucking all of them!
I’ve had a system 76.
It was an utter disappointment.
OK, sure, whatever, but that’s not relevant to the topic.
Virgo will be completely different story. Mechanical keyboard with trackpoint.
I am looking forward to Virgo. I don’t care so much about the track point (I don’t see what everyone sees in them) but I hear it will come with three mouse buttons, and I’m really happy about that.
Once you go woth trackpoint, you’ll never go back.
It is so great for stopping you completely from moving your wrists when needing for a mouse.
I keep hearing that, but I have a Thinkpad, and I can’t imagine a situation where i would use the trackpoint. It’s just so slow and inaccurate that I can’t stand it.
