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.
