System76 sent word of their brand new Thelio Spark starter desktop, giving Linux fans a new option to purchase along with various improvements to the Thelio desktop line.
Along with the new entry they also improved various aspects of the design of the Thelio which includes new I/O ports on the top of certain entries including USB-A, headphone jack, mic jack, and USB-C ports. Plus they brought over the thermal management from the Thelio Mega to the rest of the units so all of them now have ducted CPU cool air intake separated from GPU intake and optional extra GPU cooling.
For the Spark, they said it's aimed at "everyday users" for the likes of web browing, emails, office work and 1080p gaming. Here's the configurations you can pick for the Spark:
Essential
- 6-core 12th Gen Intel i5-12400 CPU
