It’s nice seeing an open source, modular laptop where it appears they actually tried to make it usable, rather than being the size of a large briefcase and weighing 5kg.
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.
Their first laptop was very niche, as it was quite expensive while also being quite slow and a little clunky, so news of it mostly just circulated around open-source and hacker/maker type communities. This new one looks to be much more slick in comparison.
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.

Found the guy overbuying RAM guys!
Okay Google Chrome, get off this guy’s account. And let him out of the closet.
Good enough for Linux.
