  It's a laptop with a mechanical keyboard, so not quite as exciting as it sounds. I was hoping for some sort of mechanical analog computer.

    I also thought it was a laptop doing computations with the movements of pressing of keys.

    I love mechanical keyboards, but not enough to carry the weight of one in a laptop. The engineering is still very cool.

    I just want everyone to make arrow keys regular-sized and not Apple-sized.

  Been using my mechanical laptop, an MNT Reform, for a while now, great experience.

  When I saw the usb hub I was shocked at how advanced it would be. I thought he'd just throw down a high speed at best simple thing. Not a board with frankly a lot of high speed serial and protocol conversion. I'm not surprised it didn't work but I don't know this person's background enough to fully know if that's the expected outcome.

  I was expecting something like Babbage's difference engine in portable format.
