     @mntmn it would be super if you copied that text and pasted into the image alt/description so people who can't see the image can still read it :alex_heart_eyes:

     @M0YNG
     That said, if your brother can configure the system for you so that you
     just have to log in and start Chromium, Firefox, Thunderbid or Libre
     Office etc., and sets up the network for you initially, then you should
     be fine.

     @M0YNG One more caveat: if you are used to the speed of contemporary PCs,
     you'll want to know that there's some more waiting involved with the
     low-power i.MX8MQ processor that is in MNT Reform by default. Especially
     JavaScript-heavy websites will perform slowly on it. We have a remedy
     for this, which is the much faster A311D processor module, but it is not
     yet as stable as the i.MX8MQ and can not use 2 displays at the same
     time.

     @M0YNG Also, it's not yet available at Crowd Supply, but only from our
     own shop:
     https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform-cm4-processor-module-adapter

     I'm happy to help with any further questions.
