This. Pretty much cringe.

Please.

The device options you had in 1978 for portable computing were limited. You can get a lot done on a phone / tablet, and unless you are carrying the fucking oldest thinkpads around, a laptop isn't that cumbersome.

Questioning the need of a device like this is normal, especially at its price point. I definitely don't "need" one but if it was cheaper then I would be interested in something for light typing and web browsing while at lunch or something when I don't want a bring a laptop.

I am a fashionable girl and also Linux engineer so yes its very useful for me.

>>61976896
Don't be obtuse. Does it a fill a gap between the laptop, phone, tablet and PC everyone has? Is it practical? What kind of tasks is it suited for with it's hardware and kb+m setup?

>>61976945
totally missing the point

>>61976945
>>61976982
Do you need a phone?
Do you need a smartphone?
Do you need a desktop?
Do you need a laptop?
Do you need a UMPC?
Do you need a workstation?

Pretty fucking stupid questions to ask someone else instead of yourself.

Yes I'm posting from one right now. You have all the multitasking goodness of a real laptop while being ultra portable. I actually use if for work on the go as I can alt tab between emails and my browser based booking system.

My only complaint is that it took a little while to get used to the keyboard offset and layout.

All the common complaints either aren't actually an issue or can be fixed. The delete key etc can be fixed with autohotkey. The Capslock being close to A isn't an issue at all, haven't hit it by accident despite my giant mitts.

The trackpoint position is fine for this device and any other position wouldn't have worked.

>>61978751
could you do us a favor and list the hardware -ie what wifi chip?
I read on indiegogo that it has issues with standby, atleast on ubuntu where it resumes while closed.
Is this the case for windows aswell?
how long does the battery last while you're browsing ?

>>61978751
are those keys removable/interchangeable? dvorakfag here

>>61978929

Broadcom 802.11ac Wireless PCIE Full Dongle Adapter.

Yeah it can take awhile to get started from standby. I do have it set to disconnect from the network on lid close though.

>>61978979
Looks like other users have broken the switches when trying to remove keys. Haven't tried it myself.

Overpriced garbage
Stop fucking shilling it

>>61979078
Shut up you dumb retard let people talk about things they like

>>61978929
Sorry, probs about 6 hours battery life using ff nightly and thunderbird.

It looks cute enough but I thought we all agreed that netbooks were dead for a reason.

>>61979098
Hello, Tor developers. I don't give a fuck about what you like.

>>61976691
>that keyboard

just look at the WASD. trash.

>>61976745
Did they fix the Amazon description yet? It's broken English.

>>61979044
google says it should be
PCI\VEN_14E4&DEV_43EC
can you confirm this?

Anyone here using it with GNU/Linux?
I haven't been able to find any infomration about the capabilities of that wifi card. Could someone check if it supports packet injection and monitor mode ?

>>61979106
sounds promising.
I've been eyeballing it aswell

>>61976691

xaomi has confirmed they are making something in that form factor, i think they will knock it out the park... id wait for that one, probably will sell my MBA and get one

>>61976691
but why, the only people who pst this shit on /g are shills, the only images posted are renders, the actual machine is a plastic cheap looking kids toy

Zing !

Burned !

>>61980148
You're an idiot.

>>61980505
is that an x86 processor?

>>61980607
Yeah

>>61980505
This looks less comfortable to browse on than even a smartphone, at least at that zoom level. Would rather have a touchscreen to scroll than use space / arrows if the screen is only going to show a few posts at a time

>>61980637
built in LTE would be cool

>>61980653
>Would rather have a touchscreen to scroll
but you do

>>61980694
I think people don't realize that it's touhscreen also. Not just nipple+kb.

>>61980505
I'd rather make myself a Rpi laptop with a batterypack, a chink screen on ali and a tiny bluetooth keyboard. Would be cheaper and more efficient too.

>>61979442
Link? I bet it will be a lot cheaper then this shit.

>>61980719
What case would you put it all into though?

>>61980694
>>61980718
Oh ok.

>>61976945

... and still there are space probes out there from that timeframe, that are still working and responding while samsung & co try to make us believe that our phones from last year are now old, outdated and trash tier.

>>61980505
fisherprice shit, enjoy your buyer's remorse idiot

>>61980653
Honestly I increased the text size so that guys post was extremely visible. I normally have the text size smaller and its fine.
>>61981001
But I don't have buyer's remorse. I like it very much. You seem to be the perturbed one anon.
