reply to: I want a compact mini laptop(netbook style) in 2026. Suggestions? in Open Source@lemmy.ml

I agree! I had really high hopes for it. I certainly dont regret supporting a small Kickstarter but it sure is a bummer that the device isn’t very usable

Pretty sure it has the NXP i.MX8M Plus module.

I kept seeing the MNT Pocket Reform suggested so i ended up picking one up (down votes to Crowdsupply for taking three weeks to even acknowledge my order).

This thing is not even worth half the sticker price. It crawls just trying to boot the OS and the trackball is not smooth (both hardware and software) at all.

I don’t use it for anything at this point, so I overpaid for a pretty looking paperweight. 🤷‍♂️

Solid reporting in that final paragraph.

National Park Service workers were seen roping off the area Thursday afternoon, and National Guard members appeared to be directing the public away from the grass. National Park Service workers were seen later roping off the area.
