Very cool! To me, this is more of an enthusiast laptop compared to something like the Framework. But I love the idea! The batteries being replaceable cells (and not a proprietary pack) is killer!

The only thing that I'd worry about is whether the company has staying power.
- MNT has been around for while, their first laptop came out in 2019.
  
  Damn, they need to market themselves better.
  
  ........but 2019 was just a few months ago.
  
  Also, my frame of time is permanently blurred. I died of covid in early 2020. I sure hope Sanders wins the election later this year in November! I've had enough of trump!
future proof

Mechanical keyboard and trackpad switches is very cool.
- Yeah I'm pretty excited about that, even if the layout is a bit wonky and the key sizes are a one-off (the left and right most fat "1u" keys look more like 1.25u so it might be a bit hard to get a custom keycap set going for it.

Omg they brought back the eeePC. Awesome!
- Ha those were fun! I had one and it became the dedicated Pandora music player for the kitchen for a few years.
- Yeah, feels like a 1100€ raspberry, sorry.
  
  Raspberry doesn't have a screen?
Thanks for posting more content from crowd supply on bifl, op!
32 Gb ram?? What is this 2015?
- Found the guy overbuying RAM guys!
