System76 or Framework laptop?
System76 or Framework laptop?
Look, we know System76 laptops are based as fuck. I mean, Coreboot, Open source firmware, PopOS, and a fucking open source mobo in the works, just so fucking based.
But man, these framework laptops look cool too. Completely modular and easy to work on. Looks like the company has proved it isn't going to go under anytime soon.
I'm debating what to get once I feel like upgrading from the trusty ol ThinkPad. What would you buy?

Virgo will have features which can't be found from Framework:
- Trackpoint
- Open Source Bios
- Hot swappable mechanical keys
- full sized up and down arrow keys (not splitted in half)
- Motherboard is designed and most likely manufactured too in Colorado, US
The motherboard itself is also open-source: https://github.com/system76/virgo/
