I really like almost everything about MNT's products except for the hardware. Not from a performance standpoint, but on a more fundamental level. I'm really not impressed with all the caveats that ARM brings here. I understand the hacker ethos is part of the brand, and that's perfectly fine when it comes to the friction involved in getting a preferred distro (and other software) running. What's less fine are things like the fundamentally broken sleep/wake functionality.

I'd love to drop $1700 on a Pocket Reform, it's far more appealing than a GPD Pocket 4, but what makes it hard to justify is knowing I'm just buying into another system hampered by the critical flaw of being an ARM SoC. Even though they're tantalizing as a super-luxury boutique computer, overbuilt and absolutely lovely, at the end of the day I simply can't overlook the awful ARM experience it brings with it.
