Open source means that the user can modify the source code of a particular program and he can develop it if he wants. Open-source computing systems are now at your fingertips.
Your smartphone will soon use open-source software. German-based company MNT Research has developed a laptop based on open source.
The screen size of this device is 7 inches. Its size is so tiny that it will fit in your pocket. This company has been able to build a device whose display size is 5 inches.
MNT Research believes that the user will use the device according to his needs. Therefore, modifying the source code of that particular software or program may be necessary.
A user can best tell which features he needs the most and which ones are unnecessary. For this, the source code needs to be modified.
MNT Research believes that open source hardware is very important these days. The organization does not just want the software or operating system to be built based on open source, but research is needed so that it can be used on a larger scale.
The open-source laptop they created is a glimpse of what software-based technology could look like in the future. It seems that open-source computing is going to revolutionize the technological sector. The device they created is based on open source but uses Nvidia’s graphics card and 32-bit-based Intel processor.
The open source-based device developed by MNT Research will be released in the market soon. Currently, there is no open source-based hardware in the market. However, MNT Research will continue researching future open source projects that can benefit technology enthusiasts.
