Yep saw that. Had to sign up to see which payment methods they accept (only cards). So basically there's no way around it - you need to give them your personal information if you want to buy from them. Apple at least lets you purchase with cash or gift cards.

Yes and there's Bitcoin Co as well. For some reason I assumed these had a lower limit not enough to buy a computer, but I'll check.

I didn't realize you could use Bitcoin to pay, but it's good to know. I also have the original launch keyboard from them, and am looking to get a launch heavy in the next few months. Everything System76 makes seems to be amazing build quality. I have no complaints except maybe I wish the speaker was front facing. I think they're going to start releasing laptops that they build the body for in house in the next year or so, and this may be "fixed" at that time. Don't get me wrong though, the speakers are great you just have to right in front of the laptop to hear it. This is no different from any other laptop I've had in the past.

Good to hear again about the build quality. They do not accept Bitcoin or cash, only cards.
