I don’t mean to minimize the company’s role in their offerings, but are these rebadged Clevo/Tongfang/etc laptops? There’s a place for those but that would make NovaCustom more comparable to system76 or Tuxedo than Framework, which designs their own hardware.

I’d wish custom development could be minimized and everyone instead assembled next generation systems using the best open, standardized, and reusable parts.. which then could be sourced or salvaged on almost any continent. Just a wish.

Spend enough time in a repair forum and you'll realise that 99% of laptops out there are already just reference designs from the CPU manufacturers. Of course Apple is the exception, but when they were still using x86 CPUs, so were their designs.
