    Good to see linux devices, but selling a proper linux tablet with “polished, mac like” will under deliver, I am sorry. People will buy this with the expectation that it’s like an iPad and it won’t be.

    That’s not the fault of the device obv, but how it’s marketed.

    Also I am not sure I would buy products like this from chinese brands, I know that the mi air notebook was very well speced 3 years ago and had a mac-like beautiful aluminum unibody. But having seen it and used it it was way too expensive for not having a mac like batterylife, cooling solution, display and many more things unfortunately. If they had bought a device for a similar price from any other major brand they would’ve gotten a better attuned device.

    Good luck to them still, of course.

      All it says right now is sign up now for 40% off the price. Ok, if the price is $1,000 then I can’t afford it. If the price is $15.00 then I’ll still wait. So what’s the price?

    Not sure about the screen with the rounded edges though. It would probably interfere with the UI if you were to run a normal desktop environment. Plus, it looks like it would add expense for at most a stylistic feature.
