good shape. this has been used for over a year, so some light finish wear on the palm rest.
small smudge on lcd panel from trackball. this rubs off, but keeps coming back. also caused
a small dark spot that is faintly visible when the background is white (see photos).

customizations:

	- 1tb nvme ssd
	- laird wifi antenna (not installed)
	- ath9k wifi (doesn't work with 9front)
	- some keycaps (still qwerty)
	- metal side panels
	- weird stickers on lid

accessories:

	- mnt reform external usb keyboard
	- mnt reform handbook
	- two (2) black pinatex sleeves. zipper pulls broke off on both,
		but the zippers still work (see photos)
	- usb-c pd adapter
	- lifepo4 external charger (never opened)
	- iogear gwu637 ethernet to wifi n adapter
	- all original packaging

i'd like to get $2,000. i'll ship it anywhere. e-mail me off list.

Hey sl,

I can't spring up that much money for this machine, but I'm curious,
if that's alright -- why are you selling the reform and what are you
substituting it with?  A x61t as you were thinking of previously?  I
can't believe it has already been well over a year since the reform
came out, but a ton of work has been poured into it, perhaps actually
more from our 9fronters than others, to the point where I feel it has
become symbolic almost.  Of course, there's still lots missing, and
it's far from perfect.  Essentially, I'm curious what your takeaway
from 1 year of using it is, for this machine specifically, and perhaps
for crowd funded stuff in general so far, given past experience with
51nb...  Is this stuff worth the bother?  Is it more than a hacking
toy and can it replace the usual thinkpad suspects?

Cheers,
qwx

given infinite resources i'd just hold onto the reform forever. it's a great computer for 9front, and openbsd is almost functional.

but my portable office is a backpack. for a while i was carrying both the reform and a thinkpad everywhere i went, which sucked. i recently got an x1 yoga tablet and the built-in wacom works in 9front, so i'm able to consolidate 100% of my needs into a single thin, light machine.

i know a lot of people are interested in the reform and don't want to wait for one to ship from mntre. it makes more sense for me to sell it while it's still in demand.

i realize this is a hefty price, and i am open to offers.

thanks for asking,

I hope it finds a new home. I for one love mine but I also carry two laptops and that can be a bit much.

I hope the other 9fronters keep it up to date. I wouldn't mind buying the pocket reform some time in the future.
