I have been waiting for some time for the crowdfunding campaign.

The FreeScale i.MX6 platform is very versatile. Up to quad core 1.2GHz, SATA, PCIe, Gigabit Ethernet (limited to 480Mbps) and lots of good documentation and driver support.

The only issue is the graphics blob and... in this case the price tag. I hoped I could afford it, but it looks like I can't.

Still, there are lots of other community boards based on the i.MX6 SoC. If you don't need the laptop version or an FPGA, there are much cheaper boards out there.

The Novena Open Laptop really is good work. I hope it'll get funded!
