interesting concept but according to the specs, it left off several that would be a deal breaker for me. only 3 megs of ram, only 32 gigs of internal storage, no wireless charging, not water or dust resistant and no nfc. I don't think the 800 buck price tag is worth it.
The internal storage is expandable to 2TB via SD card, which I think is a reasonable approach.
Agreed on the other limitations, especially RAM... 4-6 GB would have been significantly more reasonable at that price point.
Can't say the 32GB of internal storage is such a big issue for me - not with a 2TB compatible uSD slot. I've rarely had a Linux laptop with an OS+apps partition that size. More would obviously be nice, but it's adequate, and I'll take upgradable storage over built-in any day.
3GB of RAM though - that's really rough. I generally recommend people stay away from any new computer with less than 8GB of RAM, because you can be pretty certain it will be banging against that performance-killing RAM ceiling as soo
