I’m typing this blog post on a tiny, cute, but powerful purple ARM computer in the hope that I will never have have to buy a whole new machine to replace it. It’s called the MNT Pocket Reform, and it’s a compact 7-inch laptop with open hardware documentation and a modular internal architecture. It includes a clicky mechanical keyboard and a trackball within a portable form factor. My little computer was built by MNT Research GmbH, a Berlin-based hardware manufacturer with very nice people building open-source computing devices in small batches.
