+1 for S76 HW guts, but I find their laptop chassis to have been really flimsy in the past - where screws fell out and into the case of 3 laptops.

They were, in the past, using CLEO as an OEM....

They came out with that custom steel and wood case all made in the USA recently, but don't know if they are building their own laptop HW these days.



I got a Galago Pro recently, because my previous netbook fell apart. The construction on the Galago Pro is quite solid, I believe; getting it apart was a bit more challenging than I am used to. However, the laptop is still being manufactured by CLEVO, and as one consequence of this, the battery life is pretty limited (I was aware of this drawback before purchase). I believe that, as the sibling poster mentions, they are bringing their design and manufacture in-house, and that subsequent revisions will be an improvement. I don't find the issue to be hugely limiting, and I am personally willing to forgive quite a lot to have (1) no Windows key, and (2) non-soldered RAM.


They are going to be building laptops. Not sure if they have sold any of the ones developed in house, but here's the related press release.
