Is this how it works? I lock up collateral to buy a computer. Let's say 2m sats. Lendasat buys it for me and I can pay it back at a later date when Bitcoin is worth more in USD terms. So when Bitcoin is 100k I can pay back 1.2m sats + your fee to get my collateral back.
What's the liquidation point? When LTV hits 80%? 90%?

The liquidation point is reached once the collateral is not able to cover for the original principal + interests anymore.
Lets assume a LTV ratio of 67% and a loan of $5,000 at the market price of $65,000. You'd have to put up a collateral of $7,500 or 0,1154 btc.
If the price drops to $43,333, the collateral of 0,1154 would have reach an equal value of the original principal ($5,000), thus the liquidation point is reached.
This simple example ignores any fees and interest to be paid, what would change the liquidation price.

67% seems quite low. Ledn is around 80%, and hodlhodl is around 90%.
How long are the loans? Years?

Better option: stack harder, NEVER go into debt and pay when you have enough.

Sometimes, you need something now
And it's not the best time to spend.

I don't fully understand it yet, but it does look promising! The fees are between one- and two percent and one-time? Or per month?
Is there going to be some sort of calculator?
reply

There is going to be an originator fee of 1-2% and an interest e.g. 1% on the loan. The originator fee is only to be paid once and the interest is to be paid on a monthly basis.
We don't have one yet, but if you search for loan calculator you may find many useful resources.

I think get the concept behind the ad (please correct me if I'm wrong): don't delay instant gratification, delay instant payment.
But maybe you could flip it on its head: layaway and save. (Did you know you can decrease time preference of payment, without sacrifice?)

Can repayment be made in USD and BTC?
If that's the case, no matter which way bitcoin moves, the buyer can save.
