an indiegogo campaign doesn't exactly sound like the return of anything, except shady crowdfunding scams.

then again, you're an OP on 4chan, so you're probably a retarded faggot and the instance of you being into crowdfunding on indiegogo probably means nothing about shady scammy crowdfunding campaigns making a comeback.

That doesn't look like it would be very useful. Their claim of partnering up with Microsoft may lend some more weight to the likelihood that they will deliver but I just don't see it being a good experience.
It is under powered, it has shit all RAM, it's using eMMC for the main storage and it has Windows 10 on it. It just won't be an enjoyable experience.

How does it compare spec wise to a Surface, or some other Windows tablet in the price range? Otherwise only advantage I can think of is it's more or less pocketable.

> Crowdfunded
> Final retail is going to be $700
> Atom
> Only 4GB RAM
> Only 64GB flash storage
> Only 4 hour battery

Do they not realize that anyone who needs a powerful ultra small mobile device and who is willing to spend $700 on it already has a flagship smartphone and therefor does not need this?

I mean it's a cool idea and it would be nice to be able to have x86 compatibility in a microcomputer as opposed to ARMshit, but $700 is just laughably overpriced.

With any luck I'll be able to pick up one of their first manufacturing batch from some bankruptcy/overstock website like woot for $150 in a year or two.

1. 3D print a plastic case
2. Get an Intel Compute Stick
3. Take the Intel Compute Stick's case off
4. Hot glue it into the case you printed
5. Hot glue an USB hub, battery pack and a Raspberry Pi mini screen
There you go, saved yourself like 300$

Only talking about the cheap models here. You could go for the more expensive ones, but at that point you might as well just buy a regular laptop.

>Small SSD

Don't confuse SSD with eMMC. Chromebooks, cheapo tablets and most likely the device in OP use eMMC which while being solid state memory lacks proper controller and uses slow ass flash chips. 90% of eMMC storage solutions are actually slower than regular HDDs.
