But with all that said, if there's *anywhere* that there's a market for a hack-it-yourself laptop that's highly configurable, it's the fediverse!
And the original point of this thread wasn't "this is the best value for the price point". That's not an argument I'm making.
The point I argued is that we *need* hackable hardware in order to keep participatory computing alive, and MNT's offerings are the best bet we have.
And I fully, fully believe that much is true.
