There's dozens of us!
There is a keyboard attachment.
Presumably you could add a 4G USB modem as well and use it as a phone.
That would be interesting. I wonder if the internals would allow for the use of the PCIe 2.1 > m.2 for a 5G module but that'd rinse the battery
I've never seen plasma in a mobile layout like that. That looks awesome!
there are linux phone implementations with plasma, far from perfect but entertaining non the less
Goddamn that looks so gloriously retro.
It's the handheld that a plucky mining crew employed by Weyland-Yutani would use. I love it.
When I was a kid dreaming of a pocket computer, this is kind of what I pictured in my mind.
7 inch display has always been unusable for this form factor. I get that it's easy to integrate with the pi but when using a cyber deck as a laptop it's like trying to read a postage stamp.
HMDs like the Xreal Air seem like the better way to go: ditch the integrated screen.
Oh, love the early-'90s throwback design!
I'm not entirely sold on the peripheral keyboard, but only because my fat fingers would press multiple tiny keys if I tried to type. I guess Liliputing implies li'l fingers 🙂
