So this looks like the walmart MOTILE laptop[0][1], but rebranded?

Is this basically a System76[2]-like effort?

[EDIT] - I own an System76 Oryx Pro and love it -- this laptop being a rebranded effort is not a bad thing in my mind, if anything it gives me more faith in the initial build quality. If the KDE org gets it just as right as System76 (open source drivers galore, fantastic system tooling and support), then this is going to be a boon for open source everywhere, more money in KDE's pockets, more linux-first machines out there.

Are you sure? The keyboards look really different for a rebrand.
