The project sounds neat, but when I saw the thumbnail I was wondering why someone posted about a 1995 Thinkpad. I don't think I could go back to a thick laptop, even if the screen is tiny.

I'd probably go for a framework laptop with a keyboard in my bookbag, but that's just me.

This laptop certainly isn't for everyone. I currently have a Framework as my daily, and it's nice. I won't be getting this because I just can't justify the cost. I did, however, order a Pocket Reform, which I am very excited for. My goal is to eventually go from android phone to dumbphone for emergencies + pocket reform.

I just want the split spacebar and I'd be happy with the framework
