Physical design looks terrible. However, i would still buy something like this if i had the money. RISC-V is pretty interesting.
Looks cute! I wonder how good the typing is on it.
i had one of the early ‘netbooks’, a 10in model. slightly shrunken keyboard to fit the form factor. it sucked for typing.
probably better off with a tablet and one of those cases with integrated stand and bluetooth keyboard. and you wouldn’t need a bottom-of-the-barrel model, either, to keep with a $300 price point for everything.
Eh, I think it depends on personal preference. I had an ASUS eee pc, second gen device I think and if I remember correctly it was a 10 inch one. I had no issues typing on it. In fact I wrote my thesis on it, in LaTEX, 100 pages. No problem, I liked it.
I’ve never had a keyboard on a device under 13" that I could type comfortably on. You could have the best actuation and key travel in the world, but it doesn’t make up for the keys being smaller than The minimum spacing on my fingers.
May get one to replace my aging thinkpad. Should be just fine for a little laptop to bring traveling and to watch animes in bed
I don’t know if I’d get it for general use, RISC-V is still really early and performance on this thing looks really weak.
I’d be impressed if it was worse than my 2015 celeron. Absolute piece of shit.
Ouch. At this point you can probably get a chromebook that runs better.
$299 ($229 if your store has it on clearance), gets you a full-fledged 15in laptop at walmart with i3, 8gb and 256gb ssd.
Yes but that isn’t small and cute and has hot fans that blow hot air on you.
At that point why not get a tablet with more screen per weight?
These things always look cool but I can never think of a use for it.
The obly smaller than notebook device that ever worked for me is the GPD Win Max 2023. The keyboard actually works and the performance is stellar. Of course the price is a while different matter but it doubles as a high performance gaming desktop especially with eGPU
Everything else so far looked great but was entirely impractical
