fyi - System76 Will Ship 2 Linux Laptops w Coreboot

[Steve Coleman]

No need to even install your own coreboot, and risk bricking your brand
new system.

1) Galago Pro is apparently already on the Qubes HCL

2) Darter Pro - not yet on the HCL
Currently on preorder, so I doubt anyone has tried this one with
Qubes yet (32 GB DDR4, Intel UHD Graphics, i7-10510U)

Just wish they had docking station options. Unfortunately the 'Thelio
Massive' desktop systems still have no coreboot option.

I am not recommend to use System76 production, because they are not made laptops by themselves. They are just order from Clevo and stick stickers.

I already had a post:

I would suggest to find out more about Clevo laptops, for example here:
https://www.clevo.com.tw/index.html

About prices you could find out here:
https://www.avadirect.com/search?sq=Clevo

I am using Oryx Pro 4 which means CLEVO P955ER but with higher price https://www.xoticpc.com/sager-np8955-clevo-p955er.html

So I would recommend to buy Clevo directly without System76 or any other company who sell this Brand with overprice.

P.S. Also I had bad experience with System76 Support after I ordered the second laptop "Serval Workstation". They did not want to take it back even they accept that something wrong with laptop without my fault. After about 1 month of ticket talking they taken back (but it was not without fight). If you will have some problems with them in future some problems, I can send you my all messages with them to know you sure how to talk with them and how to resolve with benefits for yourself.

Also you can see a lot of negative reviews about Sytem76 Technial and Sales Support from clients who had problems right after the purchase.

Darter Pro is the Clevo N151CU. Many Clevo authorized sellers are already selling this model. Some even selling with 64GB RAM which would be great for Qubes OS. Would it be possible to use same coreboot as system76 on the Clevo N151CU? 

I'm using the P751-TM1-G model with 64GB RAM and i7-8700k. After some tinkering I could get both USB-C ports working. But, this is a heavy workstation. N151CU would be much portable with better battery life.
