state of the MNT Reform Next prototype. would you like to have one?

@mntmn Trackball still possible?

@mntmn looks so good!

@mntmn that looks so cool

@mntmn Awesome! Obviously.

@mntmn yesssssss

@mntmn not a question of wanting, more one of desperately needing!

@mntmn one day!

@mntmn Oh yeah.

@mntmn yes

@mntmn Sadly I think I'm at my computer limit between classic reform, pocket reform and a framework. Plus a pile of older laptops.

@mntmn Nice!

@mntmn love this! my next (personal) laptop is going to be a reform next :D

@mntmn Yes, want one! Can we purchase kits of the prototype for self assembly?

@mntmn yes please.

@mntmn purple aluminium might be a better match with this game 😺

@gkrnours stay tuned :D

@mntmn I kinda expect black and purple to be available and the striking raw aluminium to be stay a one of a kind.
A matte mustard yellow would be nice or a green with subtle leafy motif machined into the top

@mntmn Absolutely! (Especially in purple!)

@mntmn This looks beautiful and I love the idea—I’ve been holding off from buying a Framework as the Reform Next appeals far more. That said, I’ve seen some reliability issues with the Pocket Reform (which I adore) that I’ve yet to fully diagnose and make me cautious about buying one as my daily driver.

@mntmn looks very nice. the raw aluminium reminds me of the HP EliteBook 2460p, which I still have two of because they're absolutely indestructible.

@mntmn 😍

@mntmn
Still internally conflicted about the fact that your business is the kind that I most want to support whereas on the other hand I've sworn to myself that I'm only ever going to buy a new laptop with an internal SD card reader (for photography reasons). Hate external readers with a passion.

@das_aug does microsd and microsd express count?

@mntmn yes !

@mntmn absolutely

@mntmn I'm just seeing this. cool to find out that @frameworkcomputer aren't that only ones in the market

@mntmn yes, but want my pocket first!

@mntmn yub

@mntmn 1998 called, they want their new laptop design back!

@mntmn oh yes!

@mntmn This might be one of the most cyberpunk laptops I've seen so far. Inside and out. Nice one!

@mntmn ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ gib

@mntmn yes

will I ever be able to afford one? no.

@mntmn nice!!!

@mntmn been very curious about these. This looks great

@mntmn yes, yes, yes.

@mntmn Already ordered one...

@mntmn Looks great !

@mntmn I’m certainly interested. I just hope you don’t suffer from the Osborne Effect!

@mntmn Yes! :)

@mntmn I'd absolutely love one... as soon as I figure out how to make the latest Blender run on it. 😅

@radiorauschen yeah i did some experiments in that regard. i can tell you you can at least _build_ blender 4.4 on it :D but there's a list of vulkan features that are not implemented yet in panvk

@mntmn how easy is it to use a custom keyboard? And any plans to use risc v in 1 or 2 years when its mature enough? Anyway, I'm neither an EU citizen, nor rich.

@mntmn
Totally but can't afford one. Maybe in a couple of years then.

@mntmn Will order as soon as you let me!

@mntmn this looks great :o so: yes, obviously! :D

@mntmn totally! (conditional on me having actual need of a new laptop obvs)

@mntmn Yes, but I feel that the lack of suspend is a show stopper for a laptop. Any progress on that front?

@mntmn ooooh yes pls

@mntmn yeees I've been dreaming about this laptop for a long time
