Lucie / minutewe just stopped at a restaurant near the autobahn to hamburg to eat something and say that the MNT Reform Next campaign (it's our new 26mm thick 13" open hardware laptop) just went live aaaaa! https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next
copypasteninja@mntmn The "Super" version is the same as the non "Super" with a SSD and more RAM? So the same eMMC size (256 GB)?
@copypasteninja yes all have 256GB eMMC as well, and you can add internal microSD express (basically another SSD)
moonglum@mntmn Such a cool video ❤️
Sam D@mntmn I will have to buy from Crowd Supply on launch, as we can’t float it yet in this stage of life. But I’m so excited!
Expertenkommision CyberunfallLooks great, but maybe I missed it, but are there no reliable detaild about max resolutions featured and no DP Alt for USB-c?
@expertenkommision_cyberunfall *probably* no dp alt at launch but it is prepared to gain this function later via port board upgrade
rwa@mntmn should i back now or wait for availability in the MNT shop to avoid it being shipped around to world only to come back to Germany? 😑
Ben Zucker 🍰@mntmn Nice. Are there plans to send Linux support upstream?
Richard Hughes@mntmn I want this to succeed so hard. From someone in the trenches of a closed hardware ecosystem this is exactly what the world needs.
If anyone needs convincing, I've seen first-hand how the MNT team do the right thing and how much they care. I'm sure they'll hit the funding goal, but please boost and share to your networks to make sure they smash it.
I'd purchase one myself, but I already have dozens (literally...) of laptops, and my wife would kill me if another turned up.

@mntmn Awesome! I can't wait to get my hands on this!
Bastian Greshake Tzovaras@mntmn it’s amazing to see how MNT is developing!
Victor Mignot@mntmn Nice ! Whenever I'll need a new laptop, i'll probably buy one 😁
Quark Maker@mntmn Ah, northern Germany and their food!
Travis B. Hartwell@mntmn Looks so great! Currently between jobs so I can't justify backing right now. But definitely might consider ordering post-campaign!
Steve Sprang@mntmn Awesome! Just backed the super black. Will there be an option for clicky switches?
Gary V. Vaughan@mntmn Woohoo! Could not be more excited. Congratulations on being almost halfway funded already on day 1 too, that is amazing. I only wish I'd woken up earlier to be closer to the front of the line....
Imad@mntmn Lets go!!!
Laurenz0071@mntmn Super cool, würd mir gern einen bestellen. Allerdings mit Wifi6. Ist das in Planung? Lg

@mntmn ooooof it’s ON !
Small nitpick though, the sleeve is only available as a bundle with the 2 TB drive, which is a bit too much for me. Ah nevermind I’ll do without the sleeve… Godspeed 
Wes Kennedy@mntmn ah man, I might need to sell my MBP M3 Max
Tommy Þ@mntmn Nice, that's a dramatic improvement. I love the CNC'ed case/heatsink and the thickness is very reasonable now. The pure aluminum option looks awesome.
Well done!
EDIT: I'd love to see a adoption of eInk like https://www.crowdsupply.com/modos-tech/modos-paper-monitor as the display if possible in the future.
s_levi_seink would be a dream...
@mntmn I assume the Kintex-7 module works with this too? Has anyone done anything with that?
DiscoShrewHi,
This might be good to add to the campaign, and I am wondering as well, why would one want a reform NXT vs the original? I know you phrased it as more of a sidegrade initially, is this still true?

@mntmn Just out of curiosity as my current laptop still works well.
Is the wifi module supported by mainline linux? Could be mistaken but it seems like it needs a third-party module.

@mntmn
Does it make sense to buy via crowd supply, when I am located in Germany? Or does it get shipped around the world only to be reimported and shipped less then 50km were it was build?

@mntmn wishing you the best of luck with this one. Hoping the next one is thinner, lighter, non mechanical keyboard, NVMe as standard (with smaller drive options) and Framework laptop style interchangeable ports!
Val Packett 🧉@mntmn huuuh infineon is a good wifi option? 0w0
allison@mntmn holy smokes it's gorgeous!
Benis@mntmn Congrats!
Now I am just waiting for more data on hardware accelerated video (decode) for Firefox (including video, like YT) and Moonlight before hitting the purchase button.

@mntmn congrats on the launch! looks very cool, esp. the modular board design...
Michael Engel@mntmn Reminds me a bit of the 12" G4 Powerbook from Apple, nice – the Reform Next also is similar in size and weight to it. Now if we had a version with a RISC-V SoC...

Ben Zanin@mntmn this design is gorgeous. This is the machine I want.
james@mntmn this is such a great looking machine and comparatively powerful too. I wish I could afford to get in on the action but alas it is not to be. Good luck with the campaign!
@mntmn Will there be additional photos of the different body options? I love the idea of the raw aluminum body (I've always liked the aluminum MacBook), but I also feel like the black body provides the most consistent style with keys and trackpad. Additionally, will the trackball module fit this and is there a chance of supporting alternate switches?
@mntmn Congrats! Will it also have the 'transparent' bottom case? (Or whatever the correct name is, see image 
)
)
Axel 🚴😷🐧🐪⌨ | #WeAreNatenom@mntmn: Waaah, ich kann doch nicht schon wieder 'n neuen Laptop kaufen! 😉
Raffzahn@mntmn I got a question. Have all three colours of the new MNT Reform Next laptop a Aluminium enclosure or is it just the Raw variant and black and purple is plastic?
@Laurenz0071 all are solid aluminum.
@mntmn thanks, there was an outlook for a stronger battery (like 8h Li-Ion). Ehen will this Option approximately be available?
Does the Laptop has a module comparable to a secure enclave, T2, TPM or similar? Are there open, modular variants of chips with such Funktion available? Thx
