I dig the concept, just hope the utilization pans out.

I’m holding out for an arm based Linux laptop which can handle Blender without too much fan noise... I would love to get a system76 laptop but I have doubts about the build quality. But they say that they are on tract to manufacture their own laptops this year. How does a framework laptop compare to System76? (Let alone a Lenovo or Asus.)

Any chance you guys could make your own distro in the future and brand it Lapdance?

As someone who swaps laptops out a lot, I'm down to get one. I'm also the same kind of person that buys an X1 Extreme for it's ability to be repaired. I'm also curious about price, but I'm assuming that hasn't been decided.

That said:

I'd love to see these kind of companies founded outside of this area in the future.

I’ve added my name to preorder list, happy to pay premium for a laptop with high build quality and hardware. Please don’t screw up the keyboard. Please. And a fingerprint reader would be welcome addition if possible.

In what way?

it will be expensive because it liiks like the first teuly modular laptop. it will get cheaper if it has a big enough market. so in a long enough time frame it does not matter

It does when payday rolls around ;)
