    That’s what most laptop OEMs do.

    Dell is just “rebranded” Compal, Quanta, Clevo…

    That’s not a bad thing and the ODM/OEM system is not anything new.

    Sometimes the difference is just the badge, sometimes it’s firmware changes too, sometimes it’s completely customized to the OEM specifications.

    It has varied a lot over time and mostly depends on how big the OEM is and proportionally how much time/effort/expense they want to throw at a particular design.
