It's nice seeing an open source, modular laptop where it appears they actually tried to make it usable, rather than being the size of a large briefcase and weighing 5kg.
Very cool! To me, this is more of an enthusiast laptop compared to something like the Framework. But I love the idea! The batteries being replaceable cells (and not a proprietary pack) is killer!
The only thing that I'd worry about is whether the company has staying power.

Mechanical keyboard and trackpad switches is very cool.
Yeah I'm pretty excited about that, even if the layout is a bit wonky and the key sizes are a one-off (the left and right most fat "1u" keys look more like 1.25u so it might be a bit hard to get a custom keycap set going for it.
