This looks like it’s for people who want a a retro cyber deck device, but don’t have the ability or willingness to make their own. It’s just a toy.

Or the time. I would’ve gotten one if I had just a little more time in my life to tinker with it. The main appeals for me are:

1.it’s 100% open source, all files and specs will be released when they actually start shipping. So 3D printing a case with better colors should be easy, as well as tinkering with it IH n other ways.

2.Battery management is taken care of.

It will have an LTE hardware option soon.

3.It’s a Linux tablet with an OS that it basically ready to go from the day you get it.

It’s made for a rasberry pi 5 (not included), so Arch ARM should have a build for it sometime soon.

That’s not for everybody, but for some of us it’s appealing.
