Just bought one of these.
Still no regrets for some reason. I think it's the tacky green case; nearly creamed my pants just looking at it.
Should be fun to play with too despite it being overpriced, like, seriously. Probably would get better value for money playing roulette at the casino.

How much did it cost OP?
>>53914722
300USD plus postage.
Is it capable of any processing? I feel like you wouldn't be able to do much with it
>>53914699
What the fuck is that thing?
Kill yourself, it looks (and probably is) awful
>>53914735
>>53914699
isn't this fucking defying the purpose of a raspi?
fucking consumerwhores
>>53914735
*clutches chest and writhes violently in chair*
JESUS CHRIST
>>53914735
what the fuck why didn't you just buy a chromebook
>>53914736
For basic stuff like youtubing and general browsing, it's acceptable, but yeah, it's pretty pathetic power-wise.
>>53914736
it's a raspberry pi, what do you expect?
even when rbpi was brand new and fresh it's arm chip was underpowered for anything other than basic tasks
>>53914699
I wanted to use this with my MIPS SBC but the board's too big
>>53914748
Pretty self explanatory, isn't it?
>>53914749
Congrats, you're even cringier than the OP

Chromebooks don't have GPIO and don't look nearly as delightfully tacky.
I don't see the point.
If it had something like an integrated breadboard with its exposed GPIOs it would have been great little portable hardware prototyping device.
But like this, it's basically just like any other laptop, only worse.
>>53914762
Thanks for the (you)
:^)
>>53914775
you have to yake it out of that case to use the gpio, right?
anyway, toshiba chromebook 2 with a 1080p screen is like £270 and then buy a pi for £30
you fucked up
>>53914775
>Chromebooks don't have GPIO
Just plug in an Arduino
>>53914699
MY EYES
>>53914809
Yeah, maybe. But I have money to blow and I like to buy things based on appearance just because.
>>53914852
>he unironically things this looks good
>>53914974
So you're saying if I painted by toyota bright green and sanded off the gloss it wouldn't be the most awesome car on the block? Nigga pls.
I'm waiting for this.
(didn't pre-order though, want to see if that tiny startup can actually deliver on its promises first)
>>53914999
What are you talking about? I just said that OP's "laptop" looks like shit
>>53915058
I'm joking you thick motherfucker.
>>53915037
Looks interesting.
Can't say I would have much use for something like that though.
>paying 300 for a 720p screen with a tablet cover
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
>>53915152
I want it for its easily accessible pins.
It could make a great portable serial/i2c debug device.
>>53915076
Fuck you

>buying a meme tablet in a laptop casing
top kek
>>53915432
what tablet?
>>53915380
do you at least have pi 3 to be able to pretend it's close to a decent pc?
>>53915712
Of course.
>>53914852
Everyone has 300bucks eurupees sheckels to spent but no one buys overpriced hipster shit like this. For what purpose did you get and you can't tell me it's because of the appearance. It looks like it's painted with a text marker.
Their other product is way more reasonably priced and frankly more suited to what you might be using a pi for
I almost want one of these

Could've at least bought this with 2GHZ instead of 1.2GHZ processor, 2gb ram and open sauce bootloader, but do you bro
>>53914735
Kill self.
>$200 for a screen
>$65 for assembly
>>53915827
To use as a conversation starter at starbucks.
Honestly? I bought it because I actually like the tacky look of the thing.
I have come up with reasons to justify it, namely:
>I figure I can upgrade the brains in the thing as the technology advances, one way or another
>I want to see if I can get a compute stick to work in it
>I do need a new throwaround laptop that nobody will want to steal
>I might check out CEED universe, which supposedly teaches you stuff in a fun way
>>53914699
Got a Motorola Lapdock (used but like new) and combined it with the Raspberry Pi.
Works fucking great.
And even with some cables that are needed and a case i only payed around $150.
I hope you start to regret your purchase OP.
Pic slightly related.
>>53916333
I might consider it if it were green.
>>53916333
I've done this, but I have a slightly different model that has a usb soundcard instead of hdmi audio. Upshot is that audio decoding is not accelerated.
You know, the phrase "fell for the meme" gets thrown around a lot these days...
>>53914699
You should have bought a lapdock 500 and put the pi in a case on it.
>>53914735
You wasted your money.
>>53915037
Where's the actual keyboard?
>>53918368
You're already looking at it.
>>53918368
See those circular buttons?
Those are it.

Nice SBCs there. Cases that don't cost half as much as the device, too.
>>53914699
>>53914735
>$300 for a ugly green laptop with shit specs
>>53918534
looks like it would be very easy to spray paint it in pink
>>53914699
i actually like it.
it reminds me of the OLPC.
(and i don't just mean an overpriced green thing.)
