I've bought an Oryx Pro in 2021
I've bought an Oryx Pro in 2021. I mainly did so because I wanted a repairable system that would last long. When it arrived the top of the screen was already loose. Clearly the laptop was simply rebranded since there was still some glue residue of the old logo. But whatever - it was repairable, so I could live with that. Now, five years later, one of the fans was starting to rattle. I looked into the repair PDF I had stored and it described how to replace the fans, and that I could order them directly from support. That just felt good. However after contacting support I realized I had made a mistake in doing business with System76, because they said that this part is not available any longer, and since they wouldn't give me any part specs or model number they implied that there would be no aftermarket for it either. I asked. That means that any device you buy from System76 won't be repairable any longer after just 5 years. It's just a scam if you ask me and there's better products on the market if you don't mind the planned obsolescence. Edit: Added two points for giving me a proper part number for aftermarket.
