12.5" matte IPS 1920x1080 eDP panel
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?
Especially a 12" one…
I mean it’s nice but 1100€? That’s just quite very very expensive IMO for something maybe less good than a T480.
Someone doesn’t understand economies of scale.
Well go ahead and buy one then, actually you can have mine too mr economist.
“It’s the fault of not everyone buying it!”
What a curious take.
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.
Thanks for posting more content from crowd supply on bifl, op!
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.

32 Gb ram?? What is this 2015?
Found the guy overbuying RAM guys!
Okay Google Chrome, get off this guy’s account. And let him out of the closet.
What’s the max ram?
Good enough for Linux.
Not Qubes unfortunately
Yeah, that would be too hard.
I have 64GB RAM rn and there are only a select few cases in which I use more than 16GB.
Most of the time, it is ~10GB.
I have given 8GB to a VM and even that tends to be used only ~2GB (of course not Windows).I’m using Qubes right now and at 21G used.
It goes up a lot if you use vaults for passwords and GPG, separate qube for mail, and separate Qubes for each of your clients.
If you’re only using 10G, you probably don’t have much compartmentalization in your setup
Yeah, I just tend to do one thing at a time.
Wine is in a separate installation, without mails, payments etc,
When doing payments or other stuff expecting security, I shut down the VM. Memory sharing, copy-paste, shared folders etc. is disabled.
