The MNT Reform Next laptop is making waves with its bold modular design, setting itself apart in a market often dominated by sleekness over substance. This unique laptop tips the scales at 1.6 kg (or 3.5 lbs) and stretches out at a thickness of 2.6 cm (1.02 inches), a testament to its commitment to a modular architecture. However, this innovative approach comes with a trade-off. Powering the device is a Rockchip RK3588 CPU, built with four Cortex-A76 and four Cortex-A55 ARM cores. While it may not compete with the might of the latest Intel and AMD processors, it shines in power efficiency, running whisper-quietly without the need for a cooling fan.
Connectivity won’t leave you wanting, as the MNT Reform Next supports Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0, and it comes pre-installed with Debian Linux, appealing to the open-source enthusiast.
The MNT Reform Next has already gained traction in its crowdfunding campaign on Crowd Supply, hitting its $100,000 target. The base model is attractively priced at $1,099 and is equipped with 16 GB of memory along with 256 GB of eMMC storage. For those craving more power, the “Hyper” version is available for $1,599, featuring an impressive 32 GB of RAM and a considerable 2 TB SSD.
MNT Research sweetens the deal with free worldwide shipping, though buyers should be mindful of potential import taxes and duties. This laptop truly challenges the status quo, offering a fresh and innovative choice for those seeking a customizable tech experience.
