Good to see this because it means demand for new Linux laptops is still here (or even growing) but why wouldn’t someone go for a System76 laptop instead that comes with custom, FOSS firmware too?

For one, S76 is not shipping icelake. Second, s76 = clevo + coreboot. Not everyone cares about that. Dell/Lenovo have better hardware, support, etc.

well, take a look at System76 laptops and Dell XPS. Dell looks amazing and System76 not so much. also build quality, screens can be important.

also availability and warranty is important for companies too.

Because shipping outside the US is expensive, especially if you need to RMA anything.
