The cases are looking nice.
I remember that the older prototype version from the gamescom, had a few serious issues, like a to loose hinge and the shoulder buttons where quite bad.
It is fun to see, how all issues get dissolved
Now the hinge looks fine even when supporting a screen and the shoulder buttons are nice and clicky.
I like the black case, i also would like a dark gray color like my thinpad or something
I hope the 4 GB ram issue is fixable without another hardware change.
keymat is done
case is mostly done
main board is done
cpu board is (hopefully) done
sealing needs one more revision
logo plate is done
metal plate for cooling, has a short lead time, and is quite simple
ribbon cable is done
most parts with a long lead time are already in stock at global components (if i remember correctly)
so far everything looks nice
I have a few questions to the (mostly final) hardware:
Only to more months™

I have a few questions to the (mostly final) hardware:
- is the audio still as good as planed? My thinkpad for example has relay bad audio chip set, but my oneplus one is okay for me.
- is there still an software controllable modem kill switch outside of the modem chip? And if so what is it default, and if the default is "on" can the modem be switched of immediately when you turn the device on using some simple uboot change?
