       @mntmn BTW, any plans for a low-spec laptop for those who just need to write on the road? No need for lots of ram and lightning fast CPU in this case. Just a good quality screen and keyboard that are important.

       @bonkers right, some people sent me in this direction here before. i wonder what MNT could solve there that the other companies/groups don't do yet... i.e. is there any unsolved problem/demand

       @mntmn well, if one wants a low-cost laptop for such tasks, their choice is limited to Chinese or secondhand laptops. Both come without warranty and you can't know for sure if Linux would work there.Another niche, we don't actually have a Linux distribution that would be focused on writers. Some people want a device without a browser, for example, to minimize the distraction.Difficult to say if you would fit there with MNT, but worth thinking, and the market is pretty crappy anyway.

       @mntmn btw, "checkout with PayPal" option in your shop would be great. Same for GooglePay. They automatically supply the delivery address and you don't need to ask the buyers to register.

       @mntmn @moses_izumi I tried a similar one, but monochrome. It was awfully slow.https://youtu.be/MBLBD8SLbio

       @mntmn @bonkers Does it _really_ need a bigger display? :-)Maybe it just needs different firmware... for editing, that keyboard has about the same sized screen as this "word-processor" (that my mother used to own), and almost certainly has more processing power. :-)
