Is there a way to get these machines:

- without the branding in such large font? (I understand it's an important form of advertising for small companies). - with a touchpad that has actual physical buttons?

Same questions for framework laptops if anyone knows.

A sticker or a "skin" might solve the first concern?

My lemp10 just has stickers for the System76 logo; one letter has worn off already.

NovaCustom also sells some of the same laptops with coreboot (there are a few differences in the configurations, but it's close), and you can choose a custom logo or no branding at all. Unfortunately, there's no option for a touchpad with physical buttons.

Purism sells laptops without a branding, but also without actual touchpad buttons.

Tuxedo gives you the option to order their laptops with either the Tuxedo logo, a custom logo, or no logo. I ordered the InfinityBook Pro 14 Gen7 without any logo and it looks really clean.

I haven't checked Coreboot support before, but now found: https://www.tuxedocomputers.com/en/Infos/Help-Support/Freque...
