This is actually impressive. Y'all dunking on it probably don't realize just how tiny this company is, yet they somehow managed to pull this off without being just another Clevo reseller. It's a whole custom chassis that actually looks sick, and a sane keyboard layout.

Unfortunately, this is probably the worst possible time to launch a laptop. Those prices are wild, and I say that as someone willing to pay a premium for Linux support. I also already upgraded recently, so it'll be a pass from me for now... But I wish them the best of luck!
