@nrp, can you comment on upcoming models? Would love to have a 15" or 17" model with the same swappable ports but with a beefier processor and much larger memory capacities.
The larger frames might allow for more ports, but I'm not sure if you're limited by the number of PCIe lanes on these processors.
I think a Ryzen offering would also be welcomed.
Lastly thanks so much for this product and for first-class Linux support.

Looks to me that to allow for even the low-profile Kailh choc switches, the laptop would need to be much thicker. (The DIY laptop is 15mm thick. My PCB+kailh+bumpons keyboard is 14mm thick).

- VMs for testing eat up memory fast. - A deep disk IO cache dramatically speeds up some workloads, even if processes aren't allocating the memory themselves. - Running a bunch of microservices locally (we have a webpack-based app that eats 16GiB easy - yes, yes... we're working on it).
I think 64 is a bit extreme these days for a personal computer if you're not running a stack of VMs. Servers are a different story, of course.
If you have complex virtual setups (or use Chrome, according to some, I won't known since I barely touch it these days) then you might need it.
In other words, you don't really want this laptop at all.
