I've had a System76 happily since 2019 -- I really love my Oryx Pro.

The start was rocky (dead cooling unit on delivery), but since then it's been purring along just great.

What issues have you been seeing? At this point they've shipped a lot of hardware and software and I haven't seen the alarm raised so much.

How is that related to their in-house hardware? You're looking to blame Clevo, not system76.

Well, they signed off on it. They said "Yep, this is good. Let's put our name on it and sell it our customers". So yes, blame them for the quality of their products that they are selling.

After using all Apple from the ][+ to the M1 MacBook Air I switched to a System76 Darter Pro a few months ago and I am very happy with it.
