Ask HN: Where are the smaller known laptop manufacturers?
7 comments
For laptops, there's Schenker/XMG (afaik similar to system76, based on barebones, not fully custom designs, which would be somewhere between extremely hard and impossible as a small company)
For desktops, there's tons of small companies building systems from stock components.

I recently bought one of the Star Lites from these guys: https://starlabs.systems
Very nice machine so far. My only real complaint is the trackpad. Coming from years of Macs and a Pixelbook, it was a shock to the fingers.
The 13 inch machine has a glass touchpad, so presumably that’s not a complaint there.
Either way, reasonable price, works well, arrived very quickly.

I think in america(?) they might be called Clevo.
It's good if you want a portable gaming desktop, but they are not exactly compact.

Is there a good website where I can find indie computer builders?
You may find useful this forum post on European CLEVO resellers: http://forum.notebookreview.com/threads/clevo-resellers-in-t...
I consult this list every once in a while:

Building based on clevo designs (as system76 is doing) there is tuxedo (based in germany)
I know of system76, but there must be more! Any suggestions?
