Please post any questions you might have

Sweet. Comments and questions.

1. I don't see much information about manufacturing specifics, as people care about everything from the switches in keyboards to how much battery life you get out of each battery, you need loads more details on the site. Do you have any plans of more photos, marketing material, specifics etc?

2. Do you have plans on open sourcing your designs so people can make their own modular ad on things?

3. The configuration wizard is slick, and the options are obviously tailored towards high end, are you thinking the only market for modular custom will be high end, or do you plan on expanding it?

1. I agree with you it need more information for now it is in development stage so we don't have specifics on switches or speakers etc. As for battery life it would be hard to estimate becuase there's so many combinations and power consumption would vary widely. We currently don't have any more plans for public consumption at this point

2. We plan on allowing third party manufactures but we are not planning on open sourcing it, since we want to maintain quality similar to what apple does with their lighting connector

3.we plan on expanding to business and students and with the current options it is possible to build a laptop with those user needs. In the future if we find one specific user base need something particular we can easily add it in the form of a module.

I could care less about the laptop, tell me more about this 1TB SSD for $255. Also, how are they fitting 2 GTX 1080's in a laptop?

I already ordered 15 of those, I hope they arrive soon.

1tb SSD can be picked up for under $200 on Amazon The graphics card are mobile GPU they are smaller and are placed into our proprietary housing which allows it to connect to our modular standard as well as cool the GPU using our unique technology
