I have just come across this laptop by Olimex. Finally a DIY laptop that isn't just some Kickstarter pipedream.

What do you guys reckon? It says open-source but I am pretty sure the SoC that powers it A64 is not.
They also do a 15.6 inch LCD (HD and non-HD) which is extremely hard to find for things like the Raspberry Pi, etc. (https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/LCD/LCD-OLinuXino-15.6/open-source-hardware)
The price isn't too bad for either the laptop or LCD. Do any of you know of some better offerings? I am thinking about something like this instead of an old Thinkpad for my next portable.
