Cause it is a proper computer for human use... Not a raspberry pi 😂

“My vape died” *pulls out laptop*

The perfect laptop for the hacker that doesn't hack shit but the laptop.

It's customizable and repairable, unlike CERTAIN company

Crime laptops should be disposable. Throwaway. This is not a hipster toy, but a tool. Done the job - dispose of the tool.

"You could even swæp out the cpu" That pronunciation slip up on Swap has me rolling!!

"What it lacks in performance it gains in personality" He stole that from my tinder bio

Think that's a MNT laptop for those wondering.

I wonder how many others read Mutant Ninja Turtle when they see that acronym.

Hackers was a great movie.

RISC is good

As soon as I saw that it included the schematic they immediately gained my respect and approval

Hackers movie was the inspiration for many kids back in the day, c'mon!

No hacker is using a piece of shit laptop with 0 power.

Thank God it's running Debian.

I SAID "OH MY GOD" OUT LOUD WHEN YOU SHOWED THE SCHEMATICS

Be careful, you are making "ghost" laptops. And promoting laptop violence.

Coming to a starbucks near you or shown off in some linux cult discord😂

Heh I considered doing that just for the fun of it (reminding me of the 90s, when I did lug around an enormous PowerBook). But didn't!

It's not hackers tool it's just nerd toy

Smoothest transition of 2024

The schematics included are a game changer

"Mooomm... I want a MacBook!" "We have MacBook at home"

RISC gets good

This laptop is good for teaching your kids about how to build computers hands on.

Honestly the thickness and overall size looks very similar to my first laptop. It wasn't a speed demon, requiring me to reboot into DOS to get the most when playing games (avoiding the overhead of windows 95). No trackpad or ball.. Just a little nib in the middle of the keyboard.

Airport security is going to have a field day with you (Especially with the see through bottom).

"No all those colorful TNT-looking things are not bombs!" "But they *are* batteries, right?" ...well... you do have a bit of a point, in the right circumstances...

Oh, so this is sponsored content for a product that sucks! Thanks for the warning disguised as an endorsement!

I wish there was mobile phones like this. I imagined Flint Lockwood had that going ages ago

>they even customize their OWN KEYBOARD me having a 700 dollar custom keyboard from the other side of the world.

It's just a customizable laptop. The work "hacker" in this context should stay in the last century.

Fun fact: no fucking real hacker uses that!

​@amruthchangappa Why would he do that? That's like using the f slur to refer to a bundle of sticks, we don't use language like that.

@@MarbleThumbs that was my point, that he didn't mean hack as in a com artist, he likely meant tech enthusiast

This is basically a framework laptop but on steroids.

Now I see that framework actually really did an awesome job
