    System76 supports right to repair, and all laptops sold have readily available replacement parts and documentation. Those interested in firmware development may even request board documentation.

    Similar to HP, I suppose Framework could request to collab with System76 for optimized support and integration with Pop!_OS; but we’re looking to design and manufacture our own laptops in Denver, codenamed Virgo. We’ve had a bucket list of ideas for what we want in a dream laptop for years, and Framework falls short of that dream.

      Thank you for the informative reply! I am curious; why does the framework laptop fall short of a dream laptop? Can you elaborate?

        We’re currently prototyping a low profile mechanical keyboard with a trackpoint for Virgo. There will be more to share in the future. All aspects of the system will be open sourced. Open firmware, open hardware with CAD files, Linux-focused, etc.
