It's an interesting concept, but perhaps a bit financially and environmentally wasteful, when you can get a 10 year old ThinkPad for 10% of the price that will perform roughly as well as this one. We don't need to bring more low-powered laptops into this world.
I've been looking into switching away from apple and try to buy more EU based services and products.
I love the concept and might just buy one to support the project, but I want something sleeker for my daily use. So I'm considering slimbook & tuxedo atm as buy-from-eu options.

Where do you want it to be produced?
Assembly is not production, essential parts production is.

I think 1450 EUR for a 16GB RK3588 is hard to justify. Is the Rockchip open to begin with?
I'd go for a framework using the Roma or CIX boards if I wanted to go for an "open hardware but not really" goal.

Can you fly with stuff like this? I only wonder because of the battery setup. Very cool, I would personally use a regular track pad over the ball as I prefer as little mouse interaction as possible and it would stay out of the way better.

Off the shelf LiFePo4 18650, marked capacity - not at all sketchy. 8 cells are way below the carry-on limit of 100 Wh.

As it's not very small, it would be a lot cooler if it had a full no compromise TKL mechanical keyboard.
