DetailsIn a marketplace dominated by large corporations, MALIBAL offers a refreshing alternative that focuses on open-source support, the right to repair, hardware integration in the USA, personalized US-based customer support, and the unique combination of customization and high-performance technology in sleek, user-friendly designs. For those who value these qualities, MALIBAL stands out as a distinct and appealing choice among laptop brands.
In many modern laptops, especially thin and light models (like Apple’s MacBook Air or Pro, Dell’s XPS 13, or many of Lenovo’s ThinkPad X1 Carbon models), the memory, storage, battery, and wireless module are often soldered directly onto the motherboard. This is done to save space and allow the laptop to be thinner, but it means that the RAM and SSD are not user-upgradeable.
However, as part of our commitment to the Right to Repair Movement, the memory, storage, battery, and wireless module on all MALIBAL laptops are user-upgradeable or user-replaceable.
We attempted to port coreboot to our laptops, but due to the terrible experiences with had with the consultants, contributors, and leaders at the coreboot project, we were unable to successfully complete the port.
We will add more details later.
USB-C is revolutionizing the way we charge laptops. As a universal charging standard, USB-C has a number of advantages that make it particularly suited for this task.
First and foremost, it offers high power delivery capability – up to 100 watts – which is sufficient to charge even power-hungry laptops. This eliminates the need for proprietary laptop chargers and allows for charging via common adapters, power banks, or even other laptops.
Additionally, USB-C is a reversible connector, meaning it can be inserted either way, making it more user-friendly.
It also supports data transfer and display output, allowing for a single cable to provide power, transfer data, and connect to external monitors.
All MALIBAL laptops can be powered via the Thunderbolt 4 port.
