I'll be honest, this is nothing more than a toy, and won't replace my x220, but I do still want one. What's your opinion?

Its shit.

>>57756403
Looks pretty interesting.
But you could get a ThinkPad with way better performance at the same price.

perfect for mothers

The keyboard is going to be shit.
That's about the only serious flaw I can come up with though.

RAM Memory...
>>
>>57756403
Looks ok but I would want a lot more storage, and an SD card doesn't cut it. I would gladly pay an extra $50 for 64GB, $100 for 128GB, and so on. I hate SD cards so much.

>>57756403
I bet that screen is awful tn garbage
I will refuse to buy it on that alone
>>
>>57756403
is the 11 inch screen version also smaller in size? I just want a laptop that is at most 12 inches wide.

if it'll run muh loonix then sure.
would rather it be black instead of white, though, white laptops just don't look good

You have to get an arm distro
That's the turn off for most users

he must be from the other side of the Rio Grande river
>>
>>57756632
It looks like the kind of thing people would be more than happy to hack. I expect not long after its release people adding more storage into it.

What about the battery life? What OS can it run? Any ARM Linux distro will do?
>>
Could've at least given it 8x A53 cores or 4 decent a72 cores fucking hell
>>
>>57756488
That ARM battery life tho. This thing could probably run for over 15 hours on a single charge.
If the keyboard is good, it could be a great computer for university. I'd love something I could take with me and do some light programming on without worrying too much about the battery dying.

Mexanon here, everyone calls it RAM, even tech illiterates.
>>
>>57756403
Seems ok but the emmc flash makes me doubt.
Can you boot from MicroSD or SD?
Will it run on Linux or Android if not both?
Shitty TN or IPS screen?
Only one USB port? Really?
User replaceable battery and emmc?
Does low end ARM support SATA or M2?
>>
>>57756403
I'm down. I like stupid low power devices, and I was wondering when people would start stuffing SBCs in laptop shells. Sucks they didn't pipe the gigabit ethernet to an external port though.
>>57761545
sd bootable
runs linux or android
IPS
2 USB ports
non replaceable emmc (emmc by definition is not removable)
no SATA or M2
