Showtime Computer <http://www.showtimepc.com/> in Hudson now does custom-built laptops, as of some time in the last few years IIRC. They look like they're based on the same ODM kits as the other Linux boutiques I've shopped, and should be solid. ThinkPenguin <https://www.thinkpenguin.com> is also based in NH again (Keene, last I heard); looks like they've may have stopped doing laptops for the time being, though (I don't see any in the listing on their website, just accessories; they have _desktops_...). I was buying all of my computers from ZaReason, but they just went out of business ("Unfortunately, the pandemic has been the final KO blow. It has hit our little town hard and we have not been able to recover from it. As of Tuesday, 11/24/20 17:00 EST ZaReason is no longer in business."). -- Connect with me on the GNU social network: <https://status.hackerposse.com/rozzin> Not on the network?
