MNT Reform Next open-source modular laptop crowdfunder goes live for $1,099
Key attractions of MNT's 12.5-inch portable include customizability, mod-ability, and reparability, as well as the fact that it comes with a mechanical keyboard as standard. However, it is an Arm (Rockchip RK3588) device, with crowdfunding participants expected to part with at least $1,099 for a machine that isn’t due to ship until September 2025.

MNT Reform Next only let down by its display
I love that open, considered hardware like the MNT Reform exists, and the MNT Reform Next is set to continue this trend. The keyboard, reasonable-sized trackpad, and repairable construction all look boss.

MNT Reform Next is an open-source, RK3588-powered modular 12.5-inch laptop (Crowdfunding)
The MNT Reform Next brings the Rockchip RK3588 processor to the modular laptop series. It retains the open-hardware nature of the older MNT Reform and introduces a lighter and more modular design, complete with a much faster processor. The MNT Reform Next separates the three port boards from the main motherboard, allowing for greater customization and modification than its predecessors.
