@fincham oh very nice. i am particularly interested in their open hardware approach, maybe i can use the trackball module in a keyboard concept...their modular approach is fascinating. I wish this was a rugged device, because I really like fully rugged notebooks. Can you talk about the feel of it?

@fluffy one of their big goals was to make a computer that you can keep and use for a long time. it’s got a very solid metal chassis design, I’ve only had it a couple of hours but it feels robust. And what isn’t robust is very easily replaced or repaired.

@fincham Can you compare it to for example a toughbook?

@fluffy ah no contest really, you can’t compare anything to a tough book :P there’s no ingress protection for instance. but it feels like it should hold up pretty good, especially for a thing made by hand in small quantities. It’s more like “well built” than “designed for abuse”. They make a nice vegan leather sleeve too.

@fincham ah, so maybe something more in line with, say, old thinkpad models like the x31, but full metal exterior?

@fluffy yep, I’d say it feels similar. doesn’t have quite the same internal rigidity / structure that those thinkpads did (and the reform bottom panel is plastic) but it makes up for it by being beefier on the outside I think :P I’ll need to lug it around a bit and see how it goes. My Novena for comparison never felt very practically to take anywhere at all

@fluffy with the caveat that I started a new job today so my computer hobby may not get much attention in the immediate future 😂
