Alright, now down to the ditty-gritty. I realize that you are in a development stage, but I don't see anyone being interested in this unless you build at least one, and have a slick video of it. Don't take me wrong, I am not wanting to rail on the website or the presentation of the idea in such infancy, just stating to gain traction you will have to appear less fly by night.

My main issue here is that a lot of people have wanted to do this, and either failed or given up because of the large amount of problems to solve with a modular laptop/phone/anything of that nature. So either you are naive to how hard this actual is to do because you don't understand it at a high level, or you have solved some very hard and interesting problems, and not taken the time to share how you are doing it or at what level of competency you are at. Either way, the proof is in the pudding, and I wish you the best.

i agree with you we need a working demonstration but at this time we do not have the capital to invest into a working prototype The main issue with a modular laptop is cooling since each module is self contained. I believe we have solved that problem but at this time I'm am not willing to disclose the way we are doing it publicly

The main reason we are going public right now is becuase we have not been able to find investor up until this point

My personal background is in computer engineering I understand the problems very well and the pro and cons of designing a system like this
