Skipper ✪ Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 A few months ago, two Singapore engineers had an idea: to create an open-source hardware laptop to sell to consumers. Open Source Laptop The idea was born under the name Novena Project and features a product made from hardware components available to anyone. Anyone could check the design, and certainly know he does not have security issues. The idea was born as a motivation to make others build their own laptop at home, of course, we are talking about very passionate people. However, the project goes further than that, and today, the laptop can be ordered from crowdsupply.com, a crowdfunding site where Novena is making its debut. It will of course be delivered in the coming months to passionate enthusiasts who are willing to pay a considerable amount in advance. The project is part of a wider move to open up the open-source market, now also on the open-source hardware segment. The main idea is to improve the security of hardware devices, and to create a global move to accelerate innovation. The new version of the Novena laptop has a number of design elements that are not free, such as the processor, but the designers are trying to reduce the number of components.https://playtech.ro/2014/laptopul-creat-din-hardware-open-source-este-disponibil-la-vanzare-gata/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
