Stuff like a pretty case with slots for optical drives, a laptop with a shitton of ports and all-day battery life or anything else that seems to go against the trends.

This thread is for complaining about how you can't find it and (maybe) finding it thanks to someone else.

I want an open source cellular baseband chip. That's the chip that acts as a networking connection to cell phone towers. Not only would the drivers be open, but the hardware as well. It might be a little larger than most, as I would want it to be possible for users to dismantle it (destructively, of course) and verify against tampering.

Bunnie Huang's Precursor was a good start, but it lacks networking (as far as I know)

(Are crowdsourcing links allowed? I'm not going to link to the crowdsupply page, just in case, but it is more informative)
