Today the System76 CEO Carl Richell was showing off their thermal system prototyping using various heatpipes. He shared Virgo's goal of being quiet yet performance, in particular:

"Our goal is to make Virgo the quietest and yet most performant laptop around."

This heat pipe set makes prototyping thermal systems pretty easy.

It will be very interesting to see what they come up with for their Virgo in-house Linux laptop. So far they haven't shed any light on any hardware specifications for what is going to be a premium Linux laptop design. In any case, we are very much intrigued by their Virgo efforts.
