    Physical design looks terrible. However, i would still buy something like this if i had the money. RISC-V is pretty interesting.

    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.

    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
