it really funded.

looks dumb

Looks cool, a shame it has an Allwinner CPU.
>>56281217
It's funded. Pretty niche solution being that it's only an allwinner a20 with 2gb ram. It's about as powerful as an old atom smart terminal.
I would be more into this if you could actually make it PCMCIA-compatible, I would kill for a tiny PC card SBC that you can stick into legacy systems and run as a webrender proxy or micro terminal server to make networking less of a bitch

You mean allWIENER? XDDDDDDD

God I've always wanted either a MIPS SBC for ExpressCard or an ExpressCard FPGA, that'd be pretty neat
>>56281217
so uh....stupid question, but would this thing be good enough to replace a libreboot thinkpad?
>>56281322
Not at all. Didn't you see the specs?
>>56281322
No. It's about as powerful as an atom d525.
Why not just get the less expensive CHIP?

Not Free.
>>56281322
it depends what you want to do. if you only want fully free-as-in-freedom machine, then it is nicely afforable option comparing librebooted TP, but if you need machine power more than atom processor at least, then it is probably a bad option.
Now imagine if you owned a computing device that you could easily fix yourself and inexpensively upgrade as needed. So, instead of having to shell out for a completely new computer, you could simply spend around US$50 to upgrade — which, by the way, you could easily do in SECONDS, by pushing a button on the side of your device and just popping in a new computer card. Doesn’t that sound like the way it should be?

Took me a while to realize wtf it was.
In reality it will fail more than this thing.

The mainboard itself features an SiS965 Southbridge and SiS656 Northbridge for full Intel P4 1066 FSB support on the Intel LGA775 platform. What makes this board special is that by using a converter card you can slot in your AMD 939 Athlon 64 chip and have that running on the board instead.

I thought that was a computer on module at first glance.
>>56281217
Or you know.
You could just get a laptop.
>>56281950
How many free laptops are there, anon?
>>56281961
There are plenty. Korean and Chinese manufacturers usually have free laptops.
>>56282014
Can I get a url for example? I tried to find free laptops, but I failed once
So forgive me for being autistic, but is this like a micro computer, kinda like a pi?

Those mid 2000s power supplies were garbage, may not be that much of a real issue though.
