Has anyone taken the Novena laptop designs and tried to produce an updated version? Seems like fairly obvious Kickstarter material there.
I'd still be interested in a true Novena successor too though. The integrated FPGA for instance...
The main obstacle there is finding an "updated" suitably open main processor, that's why it uses an iMX6 in the first place.
It's also not really a suitable device for anyone who isn't an electronics engineer. The basic configuration doesn't even come with a case.

As much as I like the engineer's version, improving the ergonomics would be an area of value-add for an independent iteration.
An update to the original would be welcome at some point too, but it might be a while.
