The MNT Pocket Reform open, modular mini-laptop is now expected to ship in early 2024 following a successful crowdfunding campaign (this is a 2 month delay due to processor lead times). Case design has also been updated, and there's now a 3.5mm audio jack. crowdsupply.com/mnt/pocket-ref

This is a fascinating writeup of the BOOK 8088 - a modern mini laptop with a decades-old Intel 8088 processor. It would have been a dream in 1981. Today it's a frustrating mess. But still kind of awesome. arstechnica.com/gadgets/2023/0

Nate from Gadgetonomie bought that 8 inch mini-laptop that showed up at AliEpxress recently. It's a mixed bag: performance is decent, battery life is awful, the keyboard layout is annoying and software seems buggy. gadgetonomie.com/micro-laptop-

Update: It turns out that mini-laptop with an 8 inch screen and an Intel Alder Lake-N processor we wrote about last week has a 15-watt Intel Processor N95 rather than a 6-watt Intel N100 chip (which is what the product page says it has). liliputing.com/this-350-mini-l

The MNT Pocket Reform is a mini-laptop with a 7 inch display, open hardware and software, and a modular design that will let you swap out the default quad-core ARM Cortex-A53 processor board for another module in the future. Crowdfunding is expected to start soon with prices starting around $900. spectrum.ieee.org/mnt-pocket-r
