I wouldn't assume that. I'd assume this is a mass produced stuff going through an ODM like Clevo.
If it isn't, there certainly isn't any reason to expect system76 to be capable of better production than the "mass produced stuff" coming out of eg Dell's XPS line or Lenovo's Carbon line. Especially when those companies have decades of experience and tooling investments here.
But I also don't think the dismissal of "mass produced stuff" is really even fair here. The Clevo and other ODM designs have been quite good for a long time now.
