watched @geerlingguy's MNT Reform review today in the mnt hq with my colleagues @theawesomerandomness and @holo_memory. thank you for this very well made and balanced review, it had a bunch of edge-of-seat moments for us :D and i'm motivated to polish some of those last rough edges.
a comment on price: the base model with a311d is "only" 1199 EUR in our shop. theoretically you can plug in your own SSD for 50 bucks. we'll probably also lower SSD prices further as we have new sources.

@geerlingguy @theawesomerandomness @holo_memory as for what's "Next" i'm kind of in a bittersweet mood today. MNT Reform Next will look less like a middle finger to the computer establishment than MNT Reform and be more practical for more people. talking about it now is probably Osborning our sales a bit (and we basically celebrate every order that's coming in because we don't have investors). i'm very excited to work on Next but classic Reform is the punky computer that brought us here.

@lina @geerlingguy @theawesomerandomness @holo_memory very probably yes

@mntmn @geerlingguy @theawesomerandomness @holo_memory heyyy i want this in gayish purple as i am the perfect sissy fruitcake who would want that, will that option be avilable?
SuperIlu
@mntmn @lina @geerlingguy @theawesomerandomness @holo_memory how about bright pink? 😋
minute
@dec_hl @lina @geerlingguy @theawesomerandomness @holo_memory unfortunately not all colors are nicely doable @ aluminum anodizing
r... K...
very impressed by your work
to increase the punky middlefinger attitude i propose
1 ending ‘psychological pricing’
2 removing the logo from the lid
both is very much “computer establishment”
anyway keep up the great work
minute
@phf @geerlingguy @theawesomerandomness @holo_memory we will keep producing it!

@mntmn @geerlingguy @theawesomerandomness @holo_memory So to get an awesome "rebel" looking one I'd have to order ... now? Or do you expect to keep producing the original?
MeLikeyTacos
@mntmn I've only had my Reform 2 for a year and I'm enjoying it very much. My only wish item for a Reform Next would be that you keep the compute modules compatible between them.

@mntmn @phf @theawesomerandomness @holo_memory oh also, how did you like the video?
Jeff Geerling
@mntmn @phf @theawesomerandomness @holo_memory It will be like the Apple 1 — except would be awesome to keep seeing it made so anyone who wants that bit of your MNT history can get it!
I also think it will be interesting if either Radxa releases their CM5 or Pi releases a CM5 in the same form factor. Instant 2.5x+ faster upgrade with better GPU.

@mntmn Seems like the 18650-cells isn't coming to the Next?
minute
@Nuuskis individual 18650 cells are still in there.

@mntmn @geerlingguy @theawesomerandomness @holo_memory
The next looks really nice, but I assume it'll lack the trackball and mech keyboard options?
minute
@foreverastudent @geerlingguy @theawesomerandomness @holo_memory it has the mech keyboard!
minute
@foreverastudent oh ok! i carry the chonky reform around all the time in my backpack.
Gakusei :arch:
Ohhhhh, awesome! A shame about the trackball though. I want the original so badly, I just worry about actually being able to take it anywhere in a bag. Sadly, this might be more practical even if the turbonerd in me wants the chonker.
