Not sure what this is, but the note "All financing prices are based on the advertised price at 10% APR paid over 12 months" makes one suspect it's not cheap.

I'm not in the market for a laptop right now, but if I was, the kind of company that distributes Infocom-style feelies with their laptops definitely gets bonus points.

Especially because the feelies actually work.

Seriously, software/hardware companies, bring back Feelies! Even if they're only digital. Bonus if they actually have a purpose in-game (Zachtronics gets a gold star for their Shenzhen IO and TIS-100 manuals. Those things are works of art).

They make preinstalled Linux systems. From a cursory glance, they look reasonably nice and the prices aren't crazy (although my perception of 'non-crazy price' may differ from that of a U.S.-ian.)

But their laptops are still ugly. Industrial design is hard, I get it. But still, at those prices...

They also don't make their own laptops. Their Bonobo top-end model is a Sager/Clevo.

I've never had it explained to me why buying from System76 instead of Sager or Clevo makes sense, but there you go.

I hope this style of advertisement becomes the next generation of the age-old "I MUST BE CRAZY TO BE OFFERING THESE DEALS" that car salesmen have made popular.

"OUR ROBOTS ARE MALFUNCTIONING AND OFFERING CUHRAAAAZY DEALS"
