If you believe open hardware laptops means open as in punch a Nazi every time they open their mouth and spew bile (as opposed to Framework’s definition of big open tent inclusive of Nazis), I suggest checking out the MNT Reform Next:
https://www.crowdsupply.com/mnt/mnt-reform-next
There’s work on a Wi-Fi 7 chipset (QCS8550) which is the only blocker for me updating my decade old Thinkpad. There’s even collaborative work with folks behind the gay iPod, Tangara! And it has multi-language legend options for their keyboard! Really wish they had Thunderbolt support planned to allow for just plugging in a single cable to a KVM switch, but that’s my only qualm
You can also find the project in the fediverse:

The year is no longer 2020, it’s 2026 and there are more ethical options out there besides Framework Consider tossing a coin or two MNT’s way

@sylvie@gabriel.havfruefestning.com @mntmn@mastodon.social they're working on a new motherboard for the pocket reform that supports display port over usb-c, which should provide the single-cable-docking experience :) https://mastodon.social/@mntmn/116371446299979315

@sylvie @mntmn thanks. I’ve been wondering who to look at when I finally need to upgrade from my Mac. I’m reasonably confident it won’t be a new Apple product that I choose.
