The Galage Pro, is that really that expandable and that light. i7, 32GB ram, 6TB SSD.

Found the compromise, the battery is tiny.

Yes, the Serval and Gazelle with a modern Thelio look. They really looked dated as they are.

Serval is very dated, but the Gazelle is darn "close" to a nice modern look & feel... for a Linux laptop it's about as close to MBA as you're gonna get. But overall I'd agree an "across the board" update would be most welcome. S76 makes great hardware and their design aesthetics have been steadily improving, I'd keep an eye out here, don't discount them.

This is the Gazelle you are talking about? https://system76.com/laptops/gazelle

With the circa-2009 Acer plastic look? Big plastic air fins, feet that stick out the bottom to stop it sliding into t bad properly, huge (huge) bezel around the screen?

The Oryx looks much more modern - are you sure you aren't talking about that? https://system76.com/laptops/oryx

I think they must have rev’d the Oryx (or I forgot) but yeah, that’s the more modern looking model.

You mean a pre-2015 Thinkpad?

Thanks for mentioning those. The Kudu is pretty nice too: https://system76.com/laptops/kudu

Ick. Looks like the $199 HP laptop I bought at an office supply store on Black Friday a few years back.

Every laptop either looks like this, or a MacBook clone.

I'll buy one anyway, simply because it's supposed to be made in America. But I can't find anywhere on the web site where they're made.

Currently they laptops are based on clevo devices with lots of work added on top. But they stated that laptops will be the next step after desktops. Just don't hold your breath as it gets a lot harder at that form factor
