Ich möchte einen __term_0__ -Laptop haben. Welche Funktionen hätte es Ihrer Meinung nach haben? Ich werde bald ein Konzept dessen entwerfen, wie es aussehen würde, und denken Sie wie __term_1__.

I see possible future Nothing Laptop in two variants: black and white, with partially transparent design like Phone 1&2 and red accents for ports and special keys (like ESC, Power Button, Fingerprint Reader, e.t.c.).

The form factor is thin & light with 13 inch 120Hz OLED display.

I don’t see it comes with Windows inside as the main OS (bloatware, telemetry, ads and lack of any customization would kill the experience), so I suggest a custom Linux distro based on Arch or Fedora with KDE Plasma as the main DE.

So the main features would be:

Unique and minimalistic design, potentially with glyph system, dot matrix and transparent aesthetic;
Unique OS with fast, secure and lightweight Linux under the hood, yet beautiful and easy to use, appealing to an average, not tech-savvy user;
Integration with other Nothing and CMF products on software level (similar to Apple ecosystem);
Repairability and expandable storage would be a big plus.

I don’t want a Nothing Laptop.

I would rather like to see a flagship phone.

It could be a docking station like device, that’s heart is a nothing phone. you can upgrade with different modules and self repair capabilities for longer usage. maybe printable parts, that can be exchanged like the nothing phone2.maybe a open-source linux based operating system to connect.

JoshuaKaos What good ideas!

Joseph_Developer a design partnership with framework with some integration with the nothing ecosystem could be remarkable and achievable

Joseph_Developer why, do you want to face heavy issues and mental health issues after buying this, we nothing 2a users are facing since it bought last year, I don’t want any laptop or gadgets from this company, my friend bought CMF buds2 6 months back now it’s dead 🤦🤦

Samarth97

RohithTony exactly, was saved by the users here I was thinking to buy cmf buds but the users here said about the issues so I bought realme buds air 6 instead and they are damn good

I think it should have a metal design, sturdy hinges, maybe a compact 12″ one?

RohithTony

Samarth97 good choice brother

A partner ship between Nothing And FrameWork would be the best path that @Carl and the team chould hope for

AarushMalhotra

Kawar that would be incredible! (because being modular is the best)

Joseph_Developer

Kawar Yes, it would be spectacular, but their design ideas are different.

Kawar

AarushMalhotra I mean it’s the only company I think that would wprk with @Carl and the teams dream. Because it seems like both company have the right idea and good people.

A Nothing laptop will likely feature a sleek, transparent design with minimal branding and LED accents. Expect a clean interface, seamless connectivity, and environmentally friendly materials. It focuses on providing an uninterrupted experience powered by smart, silent performance. Innovation meets aesthetics in a way nothing else does.

@Joseph_Developer Its a good idea to build a laptop by Nothing
but as other members of this chat/forum say why be another player and fall behind

Instead have a Tie up with the existing brands like Dell and HP come up with the idea of Nothing series a special version limited ones
By doing so you yourself will get the idea and see the consumers reaction on how they feel.. if it clicks then you can start a full time Product line up of your own

But in the Interim there is a need analysis for a Tablet device with a stylus Pen… for Productivity and creativity

These things will improvize the brand will create a market of its own.. No need to spend much on Marketing.
I have the zeal and thats why I am connecting with you

I have also sent an invite to the Founder.. Lets see if he Responds

With love

SandeepKunder It’s great that a tablet is being worked on, I’ll definitely buy one when it comes out, but you do have a good point.

Most of what I look for in a laptop is battery life and repairability. I personally wouldn’t buy a Nothing laptop unless it was easily repairable.

SandeepKunder

So true and I 100% agree with you… but the overall experience of using the device also matters.

what if we get a 20hour back up on a device but there is no user experience from that device… as a consumer I am okay to have 1 hour of battery less for that experience…

Sure many would agree on this.

Hi Nothing team and community.

I’m coming from the world of geeks and developers who use Linux as our daily driver. And I’m genuinely excited about the idea of a Nothing laptop.

If you’re exploring what such a device could be, here are a few thoughts that reflect what many power users (especially from the Linux world) would love to see:

Strong out-of-the-box Linux support. Even if Linux isn’t the official OS, having 100% hardware compatibility with a base distro (like Debian) would go a long way. A machine that “just works” with Linux — Wi-Fi, suspend/resume, audio, GPU, Bluetooth, touchpad, everything.
Don’t forget about software — even on Linux. Most laptop makers don’t provide any GUI software tools for Linux. That means no access to warranty info, battery health tools, power profiles, RGB/backlight settings, or fan control. Offering even minimal utilities for Linux would be a game-changer.
Ports — thoughtfully placed, including on the back. Minimalism is great, but usability matters. Many users (especially developers and remote workers) would appreciate rear I/O — Ethernet, USB-C, — not just side ports. It’s cleaner, neater, and better for desktop setups.
A mechanical keyboard. It’s been done (e.g. XMG Neo 15/17). But those laptops looked like gamer toys. You can do better. Something that feels like the old ThinkPads or IBM laptops. A Nothing laptop with a mechanical keyboard in a minimalist, industrial design would stand out instantly.
14″ form factor with a 16:10 screen. This size hits the sweet spot — compact enough to carry, large enough to work comfortably. Combine that with a sharp, color-accurate 16:10 display, and it’s perfect for creators and developers alike.
Also, features like open firmware (e.g. Coreboot), upgradeable components, quiet thermals, matte display, and even privacy-focused touches like camera/ mic kill switches would make a huge difference. These are the small things that matter deeply to Linux users.

A device like this could bridge the gap between design, usability, and freedom — appealing to both creatives and developers. And if you support Linux well, you’ll win over one of the most passionate, loyal communities out there.

Happy to hear what others in the community think too!
