But honestly, they could make it a little cheaper. What's the deal? This is ridiculous; it's worth about $150 tops, if that. Install their OS on a raspberry pi if you want to play their little learning game, which actually sounds quite neat.

It's designed to rip off hipster nerds. That is it's sole purpose in life. You want something actually affordable? Get this. http://getsuperbook.com/

Quit shilling this piece of shit. This $300 turd only has 1 GB of RAM, 1!

Just turn back your res on your current screen though, it's cheaper.
>>
>>54239226
I don't understand where the phone comes into it. Can it run the android apps installed on your phone?
>>
>1366 X 768
Why can't we burn all of these goddamn panels and move on

>>54239380
It is just a shell. You plug your phone in and it displays it and lets you use the keyboard and trackpad.
>>
>>54239380
Not him but I assume the window manager is an Android app running on your phone.

That's a respectable resolution. If you want to avoid Intel ME, then that's the resolution you're usually stuck with, too.
>>
>>54239226
That looks cool as fuck. I have no use for it for its intended purpose, but could I plug a compute stick into it somehow?
>>
Anyone know if there are any decent alternatives that are cheaper?

A chinaman tablet with a keyboard dock

Assuming it runs Android and has USB support, I don't see why not.

You either love it or you hate it. I actually really like the colour, but I'm not paying >300USD just because of that.

>>54239226
Shills fighting shills. I'd be surprised if this thing ever ships. The crowdfunding early access jew shit hasn't even started yet.

Because my phone probably does everything faster and easier while fitting in my pocket.
I'd be better off getting a proper laptop even if I didn't need to carry it in my pocket.

Maybe, but definitely not in fullscreen. My NUC PC even struggled with it a little.
>>
>>54239200
If you want a small, linux capable device with decent battery life just buy an old X220 or something. Even with upgrades like an ssd it comes out cheaper. If you want to look like a faggot then buy the new macbook and be done with it.

If YOU ARE an alcohol dont forget to find OP and ruin his eyesight and nerve system

What a fucking joke. You can get a used T420 for that INCLUDING a spare battery.

Hell, even my T60 is a better computer than that, I can have like 10 spare batteries for 150.
