Yep, an early one. Still use it pretty much daily. Bought one of the unassembled ones. I've replaced some parts like the hinges (I didn't like the original ones) and a fan. By far the easiest laptop repairs I've ever made.
I have repaired some Mac's and Thinkpads over the years.
The idea was a massive factor for me. I hate the disposable nature of computers. The fact that they make them so difficult to work on and upgrade. I bought one and also switched to Linux at the same time. Never looked back.
My wife has one of these - it's really slick, both high quality, and configurable. Coincidentally she also works for the organization that introduced the right to repair bill. I'd pick one up myself, but I can't justify replacing my current machine just yet.
Do you own one of these? Man, I would like one.

I love the idea.

I have a really old laptop. Maybe... Just maybe...
I like mine
You have one? Have you had occasion to do a repair or upgrade?

Someday I plan to buy one! Probably once my current main laptop isn't keeping up anymore, but it's less than two years old.
Stacking more sats is a better use of your energy if your current machine is working.
Exactly, my plan is to keep running it for at least three more years until it gets downgraded to a secondary laptop.
