Bought a USB-C PD to DC plug adapter to save some space during travel. The adapter delivers 20V (measured with a cheap multimeter) without load and 19.9V with idling Reform. #mntreform #mnt
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. https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/pocket-reform/updates/thank-you-for-making-pocket-reform-possible #MiniLaptop #MNT #MNTPocketReform #crowdfunding #OpenHardware

Build a simple trackball case for the MNT Reform Optical Trackball with USB-C and used threaded inserts for the first time. What a damn satisfying feeling when inserting the threaded inserts. And no, the solder joints you see are not the original. I messed them up because of my impatience... :(

I only learned about #MNT here, and am hoping to order a #PocketReform soon.
Guys, I have a problem. I'm confessing this in the name of transparency, accountability, and openness.
I just can't stop thinking about the MNT Reform.
That chonkbook is the stuff of my dreams, and I can't figure out why. It's slower than my pinebook pro, but everything about it (other than processor power and battery life, probably, lol) is just amazing. :D

MNT Reform Next will be a thinner, faster laptop (open hardware)

Wow, now even Financial Times is reporting on the MNT Pocket Reform
The MNT Reform and Pocket Reform laptops already feature modular, repairable, open hardware designs. Now the makers are also considering ways to re-use some of those modules for desktops, servers or other form factors. https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/pocket-reform/updates/an-interview-with-lukas-about-the-future

Annoyingly my perfectly functional Asus #chromebook will stop receiving #chromeos updates in June, and due to #Google it's almost impossible to easily convert it to just #Linux . So I'm daydreaming of open source computers and now am fixated on the #MNT #PocketReform ... Might have to find a way to make it through to October.

I have been working on 3D printing a custom lid for the #mnt reform2 for a while now.
Since it is going to be made from plastic, one of the goals is to have the W-LAN antennas in the lid, much like many vommercial laptops have. The theory is that reception will be a lot better.
It took me a while, but now I've finnaly found suitable antennas (cable long enough, right connector). To test the theory, I taped them to the outside of the reform.
Can confirm it works a treat!
Took the plunge and backed the #MNT #PocketRefom. Hope it can handle slack over sway. (Oh, the manager's life).
