No, they are rebranded Clevo. Only the desktops are an in-house design.
There is an agreement, that system76 gets access to whatever they need to write their own Coreboot firmware that other Clevo rebrands do not have.
Moving towards their own in-house design and assembly in the US has been a goal for system76 for a long time and there should be an announcement later this year about the first such laptop.
Oh, interesting, I actually had a stellar experience with their desktop but an absolutely terrible subsequent experience with their laptop
(which at least I was able to return with no problem) and I was wondering why there was such a disparity, and this may explain it.
System76 hasn’t been manufacturing the laptops that it currently sells?
