   we 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 yes all have 256GB eMMC as well, and you can add internal microSD express (basically another SSD)

     @mntmn The "Super" version is the same as the non "Super" with a SSD and more RAM? So the same eMMC size (256 GB)?

     Looks 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

     @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.

     Thanks for the feedback. I use around 70% of the time with a second (third) screen usb-c uplinks for usb/display/power and the other times an adaptor with usb-c to the notebook and vga/dp/hdmi, so alt dp is a must for me.

     @mntmn Looks so great! Currently between jobs so I can't justify backing right now. But definitely might consider ordering post-campaign!

     @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 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 will the switches be hit swappable or will we need to solder them if we wish to swap them?

     @mntmn Congrats! Will it also have the 'transparent' bottom case? (Or whatever the correct name is, see image :psyduck: )

     @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?

     @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
