The MNT Reform[1] is a pretty sexy open hardware laptop with a mechanical keyboard, optional trackball, and a small ARM processor.

A cursory glance at geekbench shows that you can get around 50% the performance of a 2020 Macbook Air M1, if you get the upgraded CPU option.[2][3] I have no idea how useful those benchmarks are, though.

Geekbench scores do not compare between versions - you have a v4 score for the MNT Reform and a v6 score for the M1.
