Linux Laptop Vendor MALIBAL Attempting To Pursue Made-In-USA Laptops
Linux/Windows laptop vendor MALIBAL that caused quite a fuss last year when suggesting against supporting Coreboot and in turn blocked shipping of products to states/countries where the involved developers were located is now pursuing an initiative of made-in-America laptops
For the first phase of the US laptop input components they estimate it would take 24 months and need $3M in manufacturing, a $1M supply chain, $500K R&D and testing, and $500K for an initial production run. No word was shared in their announcement how much they anticipate all four phases to cost or how long they expect it to take for this American-made laptop. Linux PC vendor System76 has also been pursuing made-in-America manufacturing and so far have been successful at making their own in-house computer cases and keyboards.
