01
Built in our own lab
Every product on this site has been opened, measured and lived with on a real desk in Clear Lake. If we can't fix it, we don't sell it.
About / Origin & standards
We engineer hardware tostay useful for a decade.
Aevum Labs began as a repair bench in a garage outside Clear Lake, South Dakota. We were tired of watching well-built machines end up in a drawer because nobody would fix them. Today we curate, test and service a small catalogue of hardware built to the same rule: if it ships with our name on it, we will still repair it in 2034.
The Clear Lake lab — acoustics, thermal rig and reference displays.

What we promise, in plain language.
02
Honest specifications
Numbers on a product page come from the bench, not the press kit. Thermal envelopes, battery curves and acoustic sweeps are re-run before publication.
03
Service over replacement
Spare parts are stocked for five years after a product ships. When something fails, we repair it; we don't try to talk you into an upgrade.
04
People answer the phone
Our support line goes to a technician, not a script. They have the same tools our engineers use to build the catalogue.

Origin / Timeline
A short history of the lab.
2014
Workbench in a garage
Two engineers, one thermal camera and a single soldering station. We start by rebuilding used laptops for local studios that couldn't trust refurbished gear.
2017
First in-house bench
We open a 90 m² lab in Clear Lake. The acoustics room, the thermal rig and a calibrated display reference go live the same month.
2019
First Limited Lab Edition
The Meridian notebook ships as a run of 90 numbered units. Buyers still send them back for service today, and we still have every driver disk.
2022
The catalogue opens
Aevum Labs goes from a private engineering studio to a public catalogue. Twenty-five products earn their place on the bench in the first year.
2025
Component-level service
We expand to lifetime component servicing on Lab Editions and three-year cover on every catalogue product, including battery replacement at cost.
People / Bench team
The people behind the bench.
Aevum Labs is intentionally small. The four people below decide what enters the catalogue and what does not.
MH
Maren Holloway
Co-founder, Engineering
Spent a decade at a notebook OEM before she got tired of shipping unrepairable hinges. Now she oversees the mechanical and thermal benches.
IV
Idris Vance
Co-founder, Test & Standards
Former colourist who turned to hardware after too many panels drifted during a film grade. Runs display calibration and the acoustic room.
LO
Lena Okafor
Head of Service
Rebuilds what others replace. Lena runs the repair bench and stocks every spare part we still have a duty to ship.
SP
Sami Pulkkinen
Lead Software Engineer
Writes the firmware and the test rigs. If a measurement script exists in the lab, Sami wrote it on a Tuesday and forgot about it on Wednesday.
