Keyboard feel was high on our list of priorities. We engaged one of the bigger keyboard suppliers and worked with them on a custom one with 1.5mm key travel.

We've built a fingerprint reader into the power button using a just-released sensor that has been performing really well in our testing so far. We're seeing False Reject Rates lower than the typical fingerprint readers built into laptops while keeping the right False Accept Rate.

How is the trackpad? Does it support Windows Precision? What material is it made out of? How does it compare to an Apple trackpad?

It's a Windows Precision Touchpad with a matte glass surface, and it feels pretty good!

There doesn’t seem to be much space left for a large battery. Do you have any estimates on capacity?

We integrated a 55Wh battery, which is pretty typical for 13.5-14" notebooks.

Will the internal layout (and thermal characteristics) allow for a larger battery, perhaps at the expense of ports/expansion slots?

Now I'm curious if extra batteries will be possible to plug into the modules

technically possible as all 4 ports support usb-c PD, but the modules are not big enough to support any reasonable capacity. It is a path to connect something like a slice battery that you could attach to the bottom however!

I've never heard of a "slice battery", but I'm guessing you mean a thin, wedge-shaped battery than would sit underneath the laptop? If so, wouldn't rising heat from the battery be a problem?

Thanks for the info!

Any plans to support movable keycaps? I'd love to actually have the physical keys match my Colemak layout

Agree, this would be awesome.

Awesome!

Best of luck and please let me know if you want someone to dogfood things as an outsider. My email is my HN username
