An excellent idea. I sincerely hope you succeed. 1. Would be good to know more about the UEFI on it¹, in particular: - Whose implementation will you be using?

An excellent idea. I sincerely hope you succeed. 1. Would be good to know more about the UEFI on it¹, in particular: - Whose implementation will you be using? (AMI? Insyde?) - Will it expose the all the settings to the user? - Will it be easily flashable (via software)? - Is there going to be an easily accesible "alt-disable" mode for ME or, if not, an equivalent solution (e.g. the ability to leave it in manufacturing mode on the ordered unit)? (2. Here I wanted to ask about Thunderbolt compatibility but this question has been answered already², and the answer is: "maybe.") 3. What do you mean by the pre-order being open to the US only? Specifically, can I pay with a non-US issued credit card as long as I provide a shipping address in the US (forwarder's)? ¹) Also asked here by another person: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27143526 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27143526 ²) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27143958 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27143958
