| mntmn | __20h__: hi, are you interested in the “old” model or the up and coming one? | 18:45 |
| __20h__ | mntmn, I don't care. I just want to have a complete open and modifiable laptop, which I can change on my own. | 18:46 |
| __20h__ | I'd buy an old one too, if this helps the problem. | 18:47 |
| __20h__ | Money is no problem for me. | 18:47 |
| mntmn | __20h__: if you have a bit of time, the best bet is probably the crowdfunding campaign. i’ll post a bigger update this week on the crowd supply page. | 18:53 |
| __20h__ | mntmn, I have time. My Thinkpad Lenovo x250 will be the last crap I buy from Lenovo. Old Thinkpads allowed easy soldering and replacements. | 18:55 |
| __20h__ | I have been searching for such a modifiable laptop for ages. | 18:55 |
| __20h__ | Either some blobs are there or the peripherals are not many. | 18:56 |
| __20h__ | But the reform laptop has all I need to easily migrate from my Thinkpad. | 18:56 |
| __20h__ | It will be slower, but from then on, I have creative motivation to extend it. | 18:56 |
| mntmn | we are quite far with the redesign, just waiting for some new sensors to confirm the new trackball design. then i’ll make the BOM for the new mainboard & we can nail down the pricing then | 18:57 |
| __20h__ | mntmn, I got here and to search for an alternative because of one event, just topping the history behind it. I only wanted to replace a simple internal battery in the thinkpad. But Lenovo has authentication chips in their batteries, which showed me due to some bug that the original battery is fraud. | 18:57 |
| __20h__ | I have this faulty Intel Wifi in here, which tells me that it supports wifi sniffing, but in reality just fools me. | 18:58 |
| mntmn | __20h__: the new reform has a very open battery system. you’ll be able to buy standard 18650 size LiFePO4 batteries for it | 18:58 |
| __20h__ | mntmn, I'm in love. | 18:58 |
| __20h__ | mntmn, do you want to marry me? | 18:58 |
| mntmn | haha | 18:58 |
| __20h__ | mntmn, really. I have no restrictions in buying expensive replacements. But Lenovo took my creative moment there by being restrictive. | 19:00 |
| mntmn | that’s interesting | 19:00 |
| __20h__ | And when the case is 3d-printable, it's very good. :D | 19:00 |
| __20h__ | I once had the idea to simply put some RPis into an old big thinkpad case, connect them and just activate the cores on demand. | 19:01 |
| mntmn | it still will be, but the default case will be cnc milled now | 19:01 |
| __20h__ | All open laptops so far only had chips with restricted and small RAM etc. | 19:01 |
| __20h__ | mntmn, if you open the schematics, I can reprint parts. | 19:01 |
| __20h__ | In the material I need. | 19:01 |
| mntmn | yes, the drawings and files will be in git | 19:02 |
