@mntmn @kine @firecat Fair point but technically you can’t build it at home neither, given the high complexity of how many PCB layers (6-8)? and even more complex soldering. So yeas we can see the PCB source files, but majority of us can’t do anything with it.

@mntmn @kine @firecat well openness also apply to framework laptops ;-) to my understanding you still need binary blobs so technically your base model is somehow comparable to 200 USD pinebook pro ;-) where I have from sw perspective same openness, most likely very similar binary blobs and also availability of spare parts. Just missing modularity and hw keyboard. That doesn’t say, that your gadget isn’t cool.

@kine @mntmn @firecat Also to put it on par you will need to opt for RK3588 cpu which I believe is still not comparable to M1 but in that case it will definitively be on price tag of decent Mac. But also on par with framework laptops. In this perspective it is fairly overpriced gadget. Not mentioning fact that RK3588 is not most performing piece of silicon introduced about 3 yo ago.
