Hello Sprout
Sprout is the name of my new machine that just arrived. The crowd-funded laptop. Since this beauty is graciously sponsored by a large crowd of people a felt I should share a little bit of its journey and entry into my life.daniel.haxx.se

I fwiw find this inspiring and good.
Keep up the great work in cURL land.

Going from the forum's experience, you're going to have a bit worse battery life than the regular screen (which I'm currently using) but the additionnal smoothness helps make the machine feel so much more responsive :)
Have fun, Framework machines are really nice and pack quite the punch!

I also liked the danger sticker on your old Thinkpad lol.
